From this angle the new road surface approaching the bridge at Sandy Lane can be seen - only the bridge deck remains to be surfaced. Beyond, the motorway is almost complete through to the M61, though the road surface may not be the final top layer yet.

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.

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.
