It's quite interesting looking at some plans, particularly local authority ones, where they are attempting to think about 30 years into the future and guessing what the transport requirements may be. If you can get hold of post-war plans for towns and the ring roads being devised and considered it's fascinating to see what many councils were dreaming up.

Oh, and if you have 10 minutes free then this is a great place to read a good history of motorways. It's debunks a few myths too....

Interesting to see some of the proposed ideas there, I think the part bridge, part underground euro crossing would have been fantastic - I would have a huge preference for being able to drive myself over as opposed to having to put my car on a train, would have linked the countries far better i feel.

Is it so that people who have taken the wrong road from the complicated roundabout at the far right can correct themselves ?
