Welcome!
Welcome to the most comprehensive site on the internet devoted to British roads. Have a look around – there are descriptions of the most important of Britain's roads, and a large library of pictures. Visit some of the SABRE member sites. If you're burning to talk about anything you've seen – please join our forum – we'd love to meet you.

What is SABRE?
We are a group interested in the history, design, geography and structure of the British road network. We exist as a forum for ideas and opinions and as a hub for information for better understanding of the UK 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.

50 Years of Motorways

There's no Photo of the Month for December. Instead, we're celebrating 50 years of motorways in Britain. A number of SABRE member sites have special features to mark the occasion; click on the banner above to read more.

Speaking of which, the banner you see here is the winner of our first (and possibly last!) "Banner of the Month" competition, and was designed by nowster.
