Most of SABRE's activity takes place online, but also with regular awaydays held in locations throughout the United Kingdom . SABRE also features comprensive information on the UK's road network. SABRE is neither a pro-roads nor an anti-roads site. It has no formal links with motorists' organisations or the road construction industry; neither does it have associations with the environmental lobby or pro-road groups. Rather, SABRE is interested in the history, geography and structure of the British road network. The Society's website contains the Roaders' Digest - the UK's largest database of British Roads, with details of every single classified road in the country. For the motorways, there are links to detailed information on SABRE member sites. For most of the major A roads (A1 to A999), the SABRE website hosts information on the history and present routes of these roads. The website also contains an ever expanding photo gallery containing nearly 4500 pictures - mostly of British and Irish Roads. MISSION STATEMENT The Society has a mission statement, originally written by the founder Brad Jackson. #To promote the study and appreciation of existing, obsolete, shelved, renumbered, declassified, defunct, projected, planned and fantastic roads. #To act as a forum for the exchange of ideas and opinions held by the individual. These could range from the shelving of 1960s motorway schemes to your favourite road to Bath. #To be the hub through which snippets of information can be exchanged. It is hoped that we can all increase our knowledge of this subject through the unfettered movement of information. #To generate a better understanding of the UK Road Network. It is in everyone's interest to know their geography. #To gain a good understanding of the history of our roads. EXTERNAL LINKS |
