As the title implies, attached are 15 poorly drawn junctions that you need to identify. Specifically, I'm looking for the numbers of all numbered roads shown in the picture and the numbers of any junctions that are numbered. Official names are a bonus for those junctions I've been able to identify the names of (using only CBRD and GSV).

The diagrams are not to the same scale, and only loosely to scale at all. Not all minor roads are shown. Some diagrams show dual carriageways as one line, others as two. All junctions are in the UK.

I have no idea how easy or difficult this will be, although hopefully some will be easier than others.

Do these follow the correct ordinance? In other words, is north to the top? I'm guessing no.

North is approximately at the top in all of them.

some of the lines are the wrong colour and the layout slightly confusing with reality, but they are meant to be badly drawn.

Si 14
Truvelo 14
Rileyrob 8
Burns 6

None have been correctly identified by everybody, but 1, 4, 6, 12 and 14 have had 4 correct answers; 2 and 5 only one each.

Chris5156 15
Si 14
Truvelo 14
Halstead 10
Rileyrob 8
Burns 6
Lockwood 1

Seven people have identified one or more correctly, but only Chris has managed the full set.
The easy and the difficult are being sorted out consistently it seems, 1, 4, 6, 12 and 14 have had 6 correct answers; 2 and 5 only two each.

The latest leaderboard is:

Chris5156 15
Si 14
Truvelo 14
Halstead 10
Rileyrob 10
Burns 6
Swarkstonecauseway 4
Lockwood 1

Questions 4 and 6 have left 1, 12 and 14 behind slightly as easiest. Nobody else overnight has got 2 or 5 so they remain the most difficult.

Can't believe I'm the only person to have all 15.

2 and 5 were definitely among the most difficult for me. In both cases, the black lines were the giveaway, eventually!

Chris5156 15
Si 14
Truvelo 14
Halstead 10
Rileyrob 10
Burns 9
Swarkstonecauseway 4
Lockwood 1

Burns has identified a further three; numbers 2 and 5 not among them so the landscape of easy and difficult looks as follows:
1: 6
2: 2
3: 6
4: 7
5: 2
6: 7
7: 7
8: 4
9: 4
10: 4
11: 4
12: 6
13: 5
14: 7
15: 6

Si 14
Truvelo 14
M4Simon 11
Burns 11
Halstead 10
Rileyrob 10
Swarkstonecauseway 4
Lockwood 1

After M4Simon's entry, the first placed junctions gain 1, the last place ones don't.
Burns has correctly identified numbers 9 and 15 in addition to those he got earlier, the latter joining the leaders on 8.

Alex joins the race with a respectable 6 at the first attempt.

As the other person with 2, I got that one very quickly, as it is so distinctive with the black line doing that. Not having 5 is really winding me up though - I feel I should be able to find it fairly easily, given the railway and distinctive layout, but alas, I haven't yet.

Burns has now become the fourth person to find #5, ranking #2 as the most difficult. After a little more searching he's identified #2 as well to join the select club with 15/15

After a weekend on the maps, I finally managed to get them all. I was kicking myself for not getting #05 sooner.
