I'm currently about halfway between J4 and J5 of the M2. Medway Services is closer but you can't join the motorway there.

Is the end of the A41(M) a legitimate junction for the purposes of this thread? If it is then I'm very close to it

Up until last week it was 9a or 9b on the lovely A404(M), but I had to move out because the tenants in the house I actually own in Exeter have trashed the place and not paid any rent for 2 months, so I had to chuck them out and move out of the place I was renting back to my parents' place so I can afford to pay the mortgage

It is a cruel and heartless world, frankly.

Junction 11, M23. This part of Sussex does not do Motorways.

Closest was when I lived in Newcastle. 1/2 mile to the A167(M)

M11 J8½

O.K, O.K.
M11 J9, but is absolutely useless, so I use M11 J8 and J10

A329(M) Winnersh Triangle junction, 1 mile away. It is now the terminus of the motorway since they turned the last 2 miles into Reading to an A road so that they could run buses along the hard shoulder.

M1 J11, though M1 J10A is slightly quicker if I'm going southbound and if the motorway's clogged coming south I might come off a junction early (eg. J12) and use the back roads to the A6.

61.4 miles from Pont Abraham, or 87.4 miles from M54 J7

Top that!

Broxden Roundabout on the M90 Perth spur is 126 miles by road from me (or 81 miles in a straight line).

At home - M9 J9
At work - M9 J5 (the S/bound off slip forms the edge of the car park!)

Well, iif we're counting work, I'm a matter of yards from the closed M54 J5...

However, I'm a little more distant from open junctions - half a mile from J5 and a mile from J4.

Chris Bertram · Post by **Chris Bertram** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 10:04

... and I'm 1/4 mile from M54 J5, and about 1.5 miles from J4.

At Home Less than 1/2 a mile from M4 J10 with the A329(M)
At Work about a mile from M4 J11 with the A33

M20 J13 for both home and work (about 1.5 and 0.5 miles respectively) and M2 J7 for university (8 miles or so).
