Interesting Junction Layouts/Phases

[Johnathan404]

I like this one on the Enfield Bypass, where two roads cross but traffic cannot leave the main road. It can join, if it wants to. In practice there is no reason to turn.

I also like these junctions where left turns are permissible, but only by utilising what is basically a shopping street: Five Lamps, Cornmarket

Finally, this isn't an unusual layout as such, but it is the narrowest stopline I've ever seen. It controls what is basically an alley that spits out in the middle of a junction. It's so narrow that there is no Street View picture of the entrance. When there is a car stopped at a red light, nobody can enter.

Heres one, the likes of which I haven't seen before.

It is in Hove, travelling south (down the page) on the A2023 to make a right turn to travel west on the A270, there are 3 lanes of traffic approaching the lights but beyond the stop line, there are only two lanes open to use into the junction. The right turn is controlled by a filter and requires cars to move left (into lane 2) in order to enter the junction and make the right turn. I've made this turn a dozen times over the last few months, it seems to work OK.

Ah, so it is, I'm looking at the opposite direction on the A2023, I'm relatively new to the area so I didn't spot the similarity.
