M61 interchange, view west, 12 December 1997
M61 interchange, view west (see all photos of the same view)
The M61 interchange has an even larger roundabout than the M6 junction. The viaduct crossing it is future-proofed to carry three lanes each way, but to this day only carries two, with a double-width hard shoulder occupying the rest of the space. Towards the top right of the picture, the Walton Summit Motorway links back to Tramway Lane.

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.
Have you seen...
Smart Motorways
Motorways used to be really simple. Now they have electronic signals, variable speed limits, emergency lay-bys, part-time hard shoulders... Just what is so smart about Smart Motorways?
