Welcome to CBRD!

Merry Christmas! We're taking a short break over the festive period, and we'll be back with more new stuff in January.

The Ringways are back

The story of the most astonishing and destructive thing never to happen to London is back on CBRD, after a six month absence.

The wonderful A1

The A1 is the UK's longest road, but the part within London is easily overlooked. Here's five things you (maybe) didn't know about it.

The Curse of Clydach strikes again

Upgrade work on the A465 through the Clydach Gorge is taking longer and costing more than expected. Should lessons have been learned from the last engineers to take it on?

Hello there!

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
