Location search

The motorway network is a big place. What are you looking for?

Roads.org.uk's Motorway Database contains pages for about 2,000 individual locations. A location can be a junction, service area, bridge, tunnel or any other feature shown on a route's exit list. You can search through all of them here.

To begin, open up the Filters box and begin selecting the options you want. For example, you could look for all the restricted-access junctions on the M6, or all the locations on the A406 that have traffic signals, or all the Roundabout Interchanges with a service area attached to them. It's up to you, and the possibilities are endless.

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.

Liverpool Inner Motorway

There's almost no evidence of Liverpool's 1960's plans for an inner ring road on the ground - but the motorway that never materialised would have been astonishing. The full details on the route, and the missing part the M62, are here.
