London

Road numbering is a system with clear rules. What happens when the people responsible for numbering roads don't follow them?

A national system of road numbers radiating from a central point suggests there is… well, a central point. But if you go looking for it you’ll find it doesn’t exist.

Last year we reported on an experimental "3D" zebra crossing. It turns out they're multiplying... if you know where to look!

The next set of pages in our Ringways series are now online, documenting motorways in and out of London to the north and east.

The next pages in our series on London's unbuilt motorways are now online, charting the strange story of Ringway 3.

The Ultra Low Emission Zone is now in force across Central London. What does it mean for you? And what's next?

Some 3D paint tricks mean one London zebra crossing is no longer taking its job lying down.

The next set of pages exploring London's unbuilt motorways are back online, this time looking at the reviled Ringway 2.

The capital's planned new river crossing faces opposition at every turn. Why has it always been so hard to find new ways across the Thames in East London?

Three London Boroughs are rushing to implement the first Ultra Low Emission Zones ahead of the Mayor's London-wide plan.

Some of Central London's quieter streets are still, surprisingly, lit by old and rather beautiful gas lanterns. Here are a few, by day and by night.

A new Toxicity Charge applies to vehicles in Central London from today, and this is only the start.

The annual London Pride event was accompanied, in 2016, by some quite unusual changes to traffic lights around Trafalgar Square. The green men went missing — and seven new symbols took their place.

The 1920s and 30s saw a huge roadbuilding boom in London's suburbs. Some of those roads are incredibly well known, but here are five Arterial Roads that have been almost completely forgotten.

A first step towards emissions-based road pricing, a pointless measure to enforce something that's happening anyway, or another leap forward in traffic planning from the people who created the Congestion Charge? It's hard to say.

One of the world's biggest and most controversial schemes to manage traffic by charging for roadspace. You can drive in to London if you like, guv, but it'll cost you.

The UK's biggest "shared space" is a phenomenally expensive experiment in West London. How does it work?

Common sense suggests that you shouldn't be able to spend so much money on heavy engineering and end up with such a terrible road system.
