View west from M61 towards Tramway Lane (see all photos of the same view)

The motorway carriageways have been surfaced on the approach to the viaduct, but there is not yet a surface on the viaduct itself. It looks likely the right-hand side (from this perspective) will be done first, as the haul road through the site is running on the left.

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.
