It's been a bit quiet here for the last month, hasn't it? I haven't managed to get much done on the website lately, for which I apologise. It's nothing personal (don't worry, you didn't say anything that's put me in a mood), it's just real life getting in the way. Real life is silly, and I'd rather be here sharing new information about roads with you all, but unfortunately I haven't had the choice.
Anyway, this week — thankfully — I have got something done. Take a look at the Photo Gallery for a new set of pictures called Rainbow Signals, showing a temporary installation in London that replaces the green man pedestrian light with seven entirely new symbols that you definitely won't find in the Highway Code.
There's also a small addition to the Dictionary, where "Pollution Control Drain" and its friend "PCD" are new entries, explaining some of the obscure yellow and green signs you sometimes see by the roadside.
I have also spent some time arming myself against possible further attacks from real life, and I am hoping to fend it off successfully and bring you another update sooner rather than later. Wish me luck!

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!
