Roman Roads Research Association (UK)

We continue Margary’s work by researching Roman roads using modern technology such as LiDAR, which uses lasers fired from an aircraft to create an incredibly accurate model of the earth’s surface beneath any vegetation, revealing surviving archaeology otherwise not visible. The example below is a Roman road in Lincolnshire, just east of Grantham, where until recently it was assumed that the A52 followed the course of a Roman road, which it almost certainly doesn’t. Instead, a different road lead

Trump Says Roads Prevent Wildfires. The Truth Is More Complicated

The Trump administration announced its intention earlier this week to rescind the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Policy, also known as the “Roadless Rule,” which restricts road-building, logging, and mining across 58 million acres of the country’s national forests. The administration’s rationale was that the “outdated” Roadless Rule has exacerbated wildfire risks. In a statement announcing the policy change, U.S. Agriculture Department Secretary Brooke Rollins said that “properly managing our

Shocking Video Shows Entire Road Buckling in Heat, Creating a Jump That a Car Instantly Flies Off

"Danger. Speed bump growing zone." Bumpy Road The summer's first heatwave has been so intense in the United States that an asphalt road buckled so suddenly that an oncoming car went airborne in Missouri, all captured in a now-viral video. In spite of the peril, the video made for a comical sight: the roads belches, sending a fine mist of dust into the air as it sends forth a brand new speed bump — off which the four-door compact car catches air, like a scene out of a Grand Theft Auto video ga

The UK Accelerates Its Self-Driving Car Ambitions

Slow and steady. When it comes to autonomous vehicles on city roads, that’s been the approach in most of the world’s countries. But on Tuesday, the UK announced it would put a cautious foot on the pedal, when the Department of Transport said it would accelerate plans to allow companies to operate self-driving cars on public roads in limited pilot programs starting spring of next year. The British government had initially planned to open up its roads for self-driving vehicles more than a year la
