Route
The A432 starts virtually slap bang in the centre of Bristol at the A420 one-way system near Old Market. From here it crosses the busy A4320 Spine Road from the M32 to the A4.
Then it travels through Easton to Eastville meeting the B4469 (for access to the M32). Then the road goes through the areas of Fishponds and Mangotsfield and out to meet the A4174 Avon (incomplete) Ring Road. After crossing the M4 the road continues on and goes under a railway bridge carrying the main Bristol-London line and through Coalpit Heath.
After travelling a short distance through rural areas the A432 reaches Yate. A couple of roundabouts to negotiate going past the leisure centre and the B4059 is off to the left towards modern housing estates. Then there is a stretch of dual carriageway to bypass Chipping Sodbury and after a large oval roundabout again the scenery becomes rural. Old Sodbury presents itself on the left and the main road meanders up a fairly steep incline which is followed by a fairly long but sharp bend to the left. The A432 ends at a traffic light junction with the A46 and the B4040.
