There was once a path — for both horses and pedestrians, apparently — that ran beside the Grand Central Parkway between Cunningham Park and Alley Pond Park. What you see above is an underpass built to carry the path beneath Union Turnpike. The path is now long gone, and this underpass was sealed off at some point (as was another beneath nearby Springfield Boulevard), but both ends of the underpass have since been broken open. In addition to what remains inside the underpass, some of the path's old railings can be found in the woods outside.
You can see the path in this 1951 aerial view running just to the northwest of the parkway. The underpass beneath Union Turnpike is visible in the middle of the image. For comparison's sake, here's a 2010 aerial view of the same area (with the roadways labeled).
An ancient pathway known as Lord's Turnpike, leading down from the moors into Danby village, North Yorkshire.

This turnpike was abandoned in the mid 1920's when the new road to Blackpool was completed. This building still stands close to the main A584 dual carriageway. This gate was at the western end of the toll road that began at the Lea Gate (hotel)

1869 U.S. Coast Survey "San Francisco Peninsula" at left. U.S. Geological Survey San Mateo 15-minute quadrangle maps (1896, 1915, 1939) at right. I don't know why I didn't also include a post-freeway version.
In1968, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) bypassed a couple tunnels (Sideling Hill and Rays Hill) which could no longer handle all the traffic that the 1940's turnpike now carried. Also bypassed was the Cove Valley Travel Plaza.
Nothing exists of the travel plaza except it's parking area, but the two tunnels are still there, and closed to the public. In some areas, the abandoned turnpike is still pretty good, in others, it's almost like a gravel road.
I really had no idea how to access the abandoned turnpike, so using some maps and some guessing, I found an old road that went under an old bridge, parked there, and climbed a steep enbankment. At the top, I found the abandoned turnpike. Sorta strange standing there and thinking about all the cars that once whizzed by.

Was down in London last weekend with work, so whilst I was on the Tube, thought I'd try and get some shots of some of the more interesting stations on the line I was on.
Had mixed success but this one came out OK I think. This is the Art Deco escalator system going up to the ticket office area of the Turnpike Lane station on the Piccadilly line.

From Wikipedia:
The Mercury Turnpike Cruiser is a series of automobiles that were produced by the Mercury division of Ford for the 1957 and 1958 model years. Named to commemorate the creation of the Interstate Highway System, the Turnpike Cruiser was marketed as the flagship Mercury model line, slotted above the Montclair.
The Turnpike Cruiser was produced as a two-door and a four-door hardtop sedan. During the 1957 model year, a convertible (called the Convertible Cruiser) was offered on a limited basis, serving as one of the first replica pace cars. Mercury fitted the Turnpike Cruiser with a wide variety of advanced features for the time of its production, including a retractable rear window, compound-curve windshield, and a trip computer.
In total, 23,268 examples of the Turnpike Cruiser were produced over two years. For 1959, Mercury discontinued the Turnpike Cruiser, phasing its content into the Park Lane product line.
