Strange Thing on M5

From the HAs CCTTV trial, I found this (below) on one of the cameras:

What is the gated bit off the police layby?

If it was a ghost junction, it would be a very tight one, like M50 J3 or M4 (or A404(M)!) J9A

Where abouts on the M5 is that?

Sorry, should have said. It's at J18 acording to HA.

Just looks like a little maintenance compound to me - nothing to get too excited about!

The top of the camera explains where it is: The Lawrence Weston Interchange- which is indeed J18.

It's likely to be one of the smaller motorway compounds which can be used for storage.

... Ah, I type it out and then realise Chris has already explained that. Right, I'll shut up then!

I used to pass something similar on my way to work in Watford, on the M1 between junctions 6 and 5. It looked more like a side-road than a layby and lead into a large empty field.
Every morning I'd get on the M1 hoping to see a tractor waiting patiently to pull out.
