Post by Dave908 »

M6 J25/J26(orrell interchange) or M58 J5. Two of CBRD's bad junctions in 10 square miles, can anybody beat that?

I have two former CBRD Bad Junctions within 10 square miles of me - M27/M275 and A27/A3(M).

It should be somewhere on the M31 for me.

Saddly its the Bracknell end of the A329(M) for me, the M4/A308(M)/A404(M) mess J8/9 to the north and M3 J3 to the south of me.

Tough one...

Probably M1 J9 (A5, A5183). That's the quickest one usually anyway. Possibly J11 (A505) is closer though.
