Context

A file of road scheme plans stored on aperture card, which are in no particular order and seem to contain random extracts from much larger files. It is rather infuriating to find one fragment of a really interesting scheme, with no further information available on it.

Contents of note

• Plan showing "North and East London Major Road Network", produced by the GLC in February 1966. It shows the Lea Valley Route for the M11 and the PNLR, with junction locations.

• Plan of section of the M11 scheme from the railway yards north of Stratford to the Leytonstone tunnel. The plans either side of this, which would have shown the layout at Green Man and Hackney Wick, are not present here. It was produced by WS Atkins for the Ministry of Transport.

• Sheet of predicted motorway flows for 1981, produced in March 1968 by WS Atkins on behalf of the GLC, with schematic junction layouts from Hackney Wick to Green Man.

• Three alternative route options for the M11 between Hackney Wick and Redbridge, drawn up for the Ministry of Transport by WS Atkins, and undated.

• Proposed signage scheme for urban motorways, drawn up by the GLC's Highways and Transportation department in September 1965. These differ significantly from motorway signage in TSRGD at the time.
