This week's been surprisingly busy and, caught up in a sudden whirlwind of unexpected things, I haven't had time to update the site properly. I know. I'm sorry.
There is something new: if you head over to the Media page in Site info, I've uploaded CBRD's (and, to a larger degree, SABRE's) appearance on BBC One this week.
In the unlikely event that you have been living under a rock for a couple of weeks, last Saturday's update saw the relaunch of the Ringways feature in Histories, telling the story of London's unbuilt motorway plans in more detail than ever before.
Missed last week? See the Updates page.

Welcome to CBRD
If you've never been here before, then welcome to the site. CBRD (Chris's British Road Directory) is dedicated to the study of the entire road network of mainland Britain. These days there's a lot of sites on this subject - but CBRD remains the biggest, the most comprehensive and the most frequently updated. It contains information on most aspects of the network and is frequented by enthusiasts, officials, engineers and everyday road users alike. I aim to make the information on the site accessible to everybody, both in the way it's written and the way it's presented.
CBRD has no politics. It is not a pro-roads protest or campaign site. It is a reference site which aims to provide up-to-date and useful information on the road network of Great Britain. To find out more about what CBRD is, where it comes from, and what it's trying to do, take a look at the About CBRD section.
I hope you enjoy the site!
Chris
