A French-style sign in Nottingham directing drivers to 'all routes' in all four different directions.

Alot of new signs have been installed around Nottingham, nothing unusual apart from some strange symbols on them!

A52 Northbound with the A453 merging on the left. The speed limit here is currently NSL but that's going to change forever in the next few days as 40 and 50mph limits come into force.

A453 just after the traffic lights in Clifton. This is where the GSJ's start and the speed limit increases to 70. The yellow sign on the left gives an indication about what's going to happen in the next few days.

Looking South from the footbridge between the A453 and the A6005. I should hope this stretch is being reduced to 50 and not 40. 40mph here is simply going to be used as an excuse for the scamera partnership to earn revenue.

Approaching the A453 from the South. An NSL repeater is visible on the left but it will be gone in a few days.

Looking North with the A453 merging on the left. The mainline of the A52 is a single lane at this point but its also possible to use the C/D roads on the left to stay on the A52 although this isn't signed. The NSL repeater looks quite new but it won't have a long life.

Southbound after leaving the current 40mph limit at the A6005 junction. The limit rises to NSL but not for much longer as it will be cut to a mixture of 40 and 50. Notice how the NSL sign on the right has an oversized black stripe.

Southbound before the A453. These NSL repeaters will go in two days time.

This is the GSJ on the A453 looking towards the A52. These NSL signs will also bite the dust.

Big junction complex ahead - this is approaching the Clifton flyover.

Another view from the car park - as far as I can tell, the new route will follow below the embankment carrying the current alignment - I'd be surprised if there was enough space otherwise.

Still at the Western end this is taken from the carpark for the retail park - note two things 1. the earthworks in front of the present alignment 2. the chavs playing football :D :s

Earthworks at the Western end this time looking away from Nottingham.

Earthworks at the Western end looking towards Nottingham, the other road is the current A612.

Prelim earthworks at all three 'junctions' on the A612 Gedling Relief Route is under way. This is a still from the Eastern end. I'm assuming the fence is the highway boundary in which case the route will skirt the houses on the right, cross the Nottm to Lincoln line on an embankment, heading towards the edge of the sewage works that you can see on the left. So far little to see apart from this. Also there are portaloos etc presumably where the works unit will be based... to the right of the current shot

Sorry about the poor quality. It has been scanned, printed and then scanned again.

In 1976, the A611 came through Nottingham on what is now the B682 - before turning off down a now unclassified road and ended up on the A610 Alfreton Road.
Today, the A611 takes the route of the B683.

I had assumed that the A648 ended at the A52 Clifton Bridge, but a 1976 map tells a different story. The A648 carries on, on what is now the B679 to end at the A60/A606 junction.
Also note the Ring Road is here as the A614 and before the A6019 is here before the A453 took its place.

A lot of different road numbers here. The Ring Road is no longer the A614 but now the A6514 - with the southern half being renumbered the A52. The A6019 as marked on here now takes a completely different route near to the station, the old route now taken up by the A453. The A648 is the modern A453 as far as Clifton Bridge, and after that it is now renumbered the B679. Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Sep 30, 2005 by Col

The B680 on this picture is now the A453 and the current B680 ends further south on the B679, the A6130 is now the A6005 and finally the A52 in the top left is now the A6200. Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Sep 30, 2005 by Col

A view of Carlton Road (the B686) looking towards the city centre. The grey car on the left is waiting to pull out of Hooton Lane and the metallic silver/grey car on the right is hovering on the Linnell Street junction, opposite this prominent former Victorian mill.

Not only does a glance up Derby Road (A610) reveal a mix blend of architecture but it also helps interested parties to appreciate why a windmill once existed at the top of this hill off Wollaton Street.

Once a road of hosiery warehouses, Queen's Road is now dominated by the new multi-storey car park on the right and the offices to the left. <a href='http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2399098'>SK5739 : Queen's Road: construction of new car park</a> (May 2011) shows things before work on the car park and the tramway bridge had begun.

This is Sneinton Hermitage (a cave site) on a road that is also called Sneinton Hermitage, as seen from Marham Close. Nottingham city centre is visible in the distance. The caves were inhabited until 1867 but in 1897 large parts of their outwardly visible facade were all-but destroyed when the London North Western Railway Company were permitted to develop a goods station on this site so that the rock face and some of the caves had to be cut away.
