Somehow or other I stumbled onto this page:

It's actually rather fascinating, in a weird way

I know what you mean ..

Yes it is.....I must go out more...

The curiosity of weird motorways all started with the M10, for me. What is that road all about! Then I thought about the M180 which I used to drive regularly, just an empty race track!!

Also, the 4-lane A1M from Alconbury to Peterborough, marvellous (very fast) road, but starts from 2 lanes, finished with 2 lanes. 11 miles of a very wide rain funnel that floods a lot

The M96 featured in this quarters IAM magazine, as did a very interesting review of the MWay development in the UK.

Because of silly eco protestors we have been deprived of many road building projects.

On a journey to Nuneaton this morning, my 10 year old daughter started asking about m/ways - how long does it take to build them, who paints the white lines and so on . Oh lord, do I need to be concerned I wonder? Or maybe she's going to become some kind of engineer?

I'm not surprised. I passed a certain number on my speedo for the first time on that road, back in the day...... (aaah the trusty Sierra V6, before it was trashed )

Oh bless her, well mine are always trying not to talk abut driving and the motorway in my car because I often harp back to my old driving instructing days and bore the pair of them about different coloured cats eyes and what different lines mean etc! LOL

I think it was "silly forums" on Google. One of the results amongst many - some unprintable here.

Continuing my search for motorway web pages, I stumbled across this one, which is equally as fascinating as the Pathetic entry:

And there I was thinking that collecting stamps was pretty bad .

It's been a long time since I wrote this in verse
So I'm doing it now and keeping it terse. This week's changes are small and lean.
Motorway Database now includes A15.

In the good old days, we used to put them in the institute, these days they run websites .
