5 May 2012
Some good news for fans of seriously detailed motorway trivia this week: the Motorway Chronology Maps in Histories have been updated to include 2012 and — as if that weren't exciting enough — all the opening dates listed in the Motorway Database have been updated to include the month of opening, as well as the year, where that information is known.
That makes the Motorway Database far more useful than it once was. If my coding fingers don't fail me, I'll also have (at some point) a direct link from the timeline section of each Motorway Database page to the appropriate Chronology Map, so you can click through and see what other bits of road are contemporary with the one you're interested in.

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!
