West Saltoun is a picture-postcard hamlet about 25km south-east of Edinburgh, and is one of many such places in East Lothian. Only about 60 metres separate its speed limit delimiters - could this possibly be one of the shortest stretches of restricted road in Scotland?

This view whows the gate which closes off the still used portion of the drive to vehicles looking towards Douglas.

Abandoned carraigeway just beyond the gate which closes of the remaining open part of the road. The unmade pavement can be seen on the left. This path has completely disappeared at the Horse Leap collapse

The section of new road constructed in the 1950s to by-pass the viaduct
Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Jul 10, 2005 by jhluxton
The former Tramway / footbath viaduct crossed the Wallberry ravine at this point. The foundation to the central pier can be seen in the middle of the photo. Partly engulfed by infill tipped when the road was cut into the cliff in the 1950s.
In the distance the Douglas side abutment of the viaduct can be seen

Standing on the carraigeway at Wallberry - the road markings are still just about visible though this section of the A37 has been out of use for around 30 years.

Close up of the road collapse at Horse Leap showing how the footpath and road edge has completely gone. At this point the road is also under threat from slates which fall from the cliff onto the carraigeway.
Recently it was suggested that the A37 could reopen as a relief road into Douglas which suffers severe traffic congestion at peak hours. The cost of repairs at Horse Leap was put at �2 million. It was not proceded with.

View towards A6078. Note single lanes to give pedestrian priority. Before 1989 this was the A677.

Looking towards Limbrick - this was a wasteland of guard rails when it was a roundabout. This is a vast improvement.

A general view over the scheme looking towards the A6078.

A view over the former roundabout-ish arrangement, and I have to say it's much improved.

I followed to One Way signs thinking they were the exit from the local Health Centre (which has just rebuilt its entire car park, and I end up finding a dead end... let's see what happens when we turn around...

After a deviation along a rerouted A30, we return to the original bypass, although now u/c The wide bit on the right appeared in the 60's, implying a D2 was on its way. It never progressed beyond this though.

Still on the now unclassified section, this was once choked with summer queues.

The handsome structure, built from the local red sandstone, taking the bypass over the original A30 into Exeter.

This is the Tadcaster road at Copmanthorpe (south of York). as the moon rises over the ECML the colours are almost magical.
Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Nov 16, 2006 by True Yorkie
The main street through Copmanthorpe is Manor Heath. The reason why I took this photo is because the sign is actually a considerable distance away from the roadside, presumably because the road was diverted when the A1237 junction was built. Originally it would have crossed the A64 and then headed off past Askham Bryan College and onto Askham Richard.

2 weeks ago I posted a photo from here showing the work without lines painted, since then sets have also been installed cutting through the newly layed tarmac.

The new lights are still shrouded on the relief rd which cuts accross Castle st in the distance.

New markings/layout

Relief road through demolished houses, new traffic lights for pedestrians on castle street. Note: turn right is in the centre of the pedestrian controlled lights zone. The original listed houses on the Left were demolished by mistake when the relief road was constructed... they had to be rebuilt but lack the bow fronted shop windows amongst other features.

This is a generously wide suburban road.

This is the same view after Sandwell Council carried out another road safety scheme. The zebra crossing is now a puffin and the road has been narrowed so passing a cyclist at the crossing is now more risky than before. Oh yeah, a couple of Gatsos have gone up as well.

Looking towards the same crossing from the other direction.

Looking towards the A4123 at the bottom of the hill. There is a school on the left.

The same location in 2007. These traffic lights have made the local press on several occasions due to the delays they cause by being stuck at a red light when there's no traffic around. The road to the right was added to serve the new Co-op but it also allows motorists to avoid the second set of lights and speeds of up to 60mph have been reported as people try to beat the lights. Another feature not found in the earlier picture is the addition of speed humps in the foreground.

The same view after Sandwell Council wasted taxpayers money on turning roads into obstacle courses - sorry, safer routes to school.
Originally uploaded to Coppermine on May 20, 2007 by Truvelo
This 'after' view shows how much the road has been narrowed by restriping it with a formal parking bay and adding a buildout at the crossing.

West of Honiton at Fairmile, the B3176 was abolished a few years before the A30 was bypassed here yet still gets a mention, although the old A30 doesn't (?)
