The motorway ring road that surrounds Coventry city centre is read currently as a city wall. The city of Coventry is within it, and its conceptual wilderness is without. The space of the motorway has become a non- place, or rather a place whose legitimacy is only partially acknowledged. The functional purpose of the motorway is held to be necessary, but its significance is rarely apparent in thoughts about the city and its relation to other places. The proposal for the motorway was in the form of a dedication to its use and to its object, such as that of a monument. It is also a declaration of solidarity and hope.

Fixed to the concrete fascia of both the city centre and suburban sides of the motorway flyover at Volgograd- place, in electrified bronze letters of the same typographic font that is used throughout Britains highway system, was the dedication: To other places.
