Chris's British Road Directory (CBRD) is a large user-contributed database of information about the UK's roads.

Contents

Description

CBRD is dedicated to the study of the road network of the UK. It includes information on many road related topics including: information, maps and pictures of all motorways and many other roads in the UK; historical accounts and details of future construction and improvements; information on the people behind the modern road network and links to road related websites. A CGI simulator program is also available that allows users to travel along a number of recreated roads in the road network.

History

CBRD was started in 2001 by Chris Marshall, a roads enthusiast, who still maintains the site and has since had many contributions from its users.
