We are not allowed to copy directly from any 3rd-party maps or aerials, but they can be used for research. |
Online maps
National mapping
http://www.google.co.uk/maps - including Street View which sometimes has more recent pictures than you see on the map (check the dates), especially when a new road is constructed over an old one. Useful for working out new junctions.
http://www.bing.co.uk/maps - also includes OS maps for some zoom levels.
http://www.openstreetmap.com - possibly more up-to-date, but don't rely on it.
Ordnance Survey OpenData - Comprehensive map useful for determining road types.
Highways England Network Managemant Map - PDF 5.09MB Map of roads managed by Highways England, trunk roads etc.
National roadworks
http://www.trafficengland.com - Roadworks & closure information on roads managed by Highways England.
https://roadworks.org/ - information about roadworks, road closures and diversions affecting the UK road network.
https://trafficscotland.org - Roadworks & closure information on roads in Scotland.
https://www.roadworksscotland.org/ - information supplied by roads authorities, undertakers and other third parties in Scotland.
Road Databases
These can be useful when trying to figure out the names of junctions, restrictions and classifications.
https://www.transport.gov.scot/media/35771/listoftrunkroads.pdf Official list of Scottish trunk roads.
http://www.nmwtra.org.uk/ The North & Mid Wales Trunk Road Agency
http://www.swtra.co.uk/ The South Wales Trunk Road Agent
http://www.cbrd.co.uk/motorway/ (Motorway database, and other good stuff. Not always up-to-date)
http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page (Wiki of UK roads)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Roads_in_the_United_Kingdom (Wikipedia - duh!)
http://www.roadsuk.com Loads of information about UK roads, including history, road numbering, signage, etc.
http://www.pathetic.org.uk A great site about British Motorways, their history, secret ones, lost ones and unfinished ones. Worth a read.
New Roads and Junctions
When mapping new roads or junction layouts, the big online map sites are often months or years behind. These resources can help you figure out what's what:
http://roads.highways.gov.uk/ (Highways Agency road projects - other sites for Scotland and Wales)
http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/forum/ (Sabre forum - often has threads about specific projects)
http://www.google.co.uk/maps (Streetview sometimes has more recent pictures than you see on the map, especially when a new road is constructed an old one. Useful for working out new junctions)
