Walton Summit Motorway, looking east, 3 April 1995

Walton Summit Motorway, looking east (see all photos of the same view)

The Walton Summit Motorway is already completed and in service, and its full length can be seen here. At the bottom of the picture, Tramway Lane has yet to be tied in to the small roundabout; at the top, work has started on building bridge piers for the viaduct that will carry the M65 over the M61 interchange.

What's new

Hello, here's my ridiculous side project

An introduction to what I write, and why I write it, and where my strange new road sign simulator fits in to all this.

London, in a new light

It was specially designed never to be noticed. And now it's disappearing, nobody has noticed its absence. It's London's own bespoke street light.

The Ringways Map is here

The wait is over! The full map of the Ringways, London’s unbuilt urban motorway network, is now online. Not even the system's planners had anything like this.
