Welcome!
Welcome to the most comprehensive site on the internet devoted to British and
Irish roads. Have a look around – search for roads-related information in our ever-expanding Wiki, browse the large collection of roads pictures in our photo gallery, or visit some of the SABRE member sites. If you're burning to talk about anything you've seen – please join our forum or drop into our chatroom – we'd love to meet you.

What is SABRE?
We are a group interested in the history, design, geography and structure of the British and Irish road network. We exist as a forum for ideas and opinions and as a hub for information for better understanding of the UK and RoI road network and its history. We are officially neither pro- nor anti- road building, and have no formal links with motorists' organisations or the road construction industry; neither do we have associations with the environmental lobby or pro-car groups.

The Photo of The Month for June is "The M8 (Ireland) 4 km south of Mitchelstown, County Cork", by Furet, who writes:
"This is part of the 16km Mitchelstown-Fermoy scheme of the M8 motorway. The scheme runs between junctions 14 and 12. It opened to traffic for the first time on 25 May 2009. The road offers great views of the Galtee Mountains and takes ten minutes off the journey between Cork and Dublin."
Elsewhere on the site, the SABRE Wiki can now be edited by all SABRE members, and not just those who are Active Members. It now completely replaces the old "Roaders' Digest" project and becomes "Roaders' Digest: The SABRE Wiki".
The RD is not just about roads lists and descriptions any more. Any roads-related articles are welcome - and we also encourage original research! The main page gives you an idea of some of the article categories that are currently being worked on, but you can add anything else you think would be appropriate. Dive in and join us! |
