I would have thought that Gilden Way would be renumbered to A1025, then you've only got a short multiplex with the A414. As OSM currently shows it, the A1025 multiplexes with the B183 with the B183 as the dominant number, which doesn't seem very likely.
I can't find pictures of the new signs on Gilden Way but I'd be surprised if it wasn't now numbered A1025. Is this just a case where OSM hasn't yet seen the evidence of the renumbering so they haven't updated the map?
One of the new signs on Gilden Way is shown on the local news article in Chris' recent post. The sign at the new hamburger junction at Churchgate Street is shown with the new A1025 number.

It isn't showing as built on Google Maps apparently, just the roundabout to the very west.
Fantasy Strip Map Creator- feel free to send me some requests!
As a wise roadie said, don't make any mistakes in building roads.
I meant to go out and give the new junction a test run but forgot in the heat. It was only when I saw that this sign had been patched that I remembered. Underneath where it says Hertford it now has M11N in blue, the other side now says M11S. https://goo.gl/maps/HAQ7dNVGRPm1GsycA
If I can sort out a camera holder I'll try and make a driving video of the new junction in use next week. Could I use this site as a host? Don't really want a Youtube account.

Sorry, but we embed videos from Youtube, rather than hosting them ourselves - we'd eat through webspace and bandwidth at an even greater rate than now if we were to start hosting member videos as well!
I used the new junction for the first time today, south bound from the M11 to head to Harlow and then back again, northbound back on the M11. The entry slip road doesn't have a lot of merging room, I'm glad I was on something with a bit of oomph. I don't fancy slower vehicles chances if a few lorries come through bunched up together in lane 1. I reckon we'll see a nervous pensioner stopped at the end of the slip waiting to pull out on to the motorway soon.
I get the impression that works are still ongoing here. I passed several yellow signs in Harlow today indicating that the M11(N) was closed and there was a diversion in place. But it wasn't, and there wasn't.
It might be an effort to break people out of the habit of driving down to 'the Harlow roundabout' and show them the new way to get on the M11 at J7A.
The A414 is not dominant for 3 reasons.
1. Google says so
2. The A414 should have a proper bypass (or just M11/Gilden Way)
3. I can edit what I want as a SABRE member!
I drove through here last Thursday and can confirm it is fully open.
What I cannot understand is southbound, the junction is signed by fully overhead gantries' straight from the Smart Motorway handbook, at 1 mile, 1/2 mile and at the slip why northbound has traditional fork signs on the verge at 2/3 mile, 1/3 mile and at the slip road.
Why the different standards on the opposite carriageways.

Just to point out that all the signage (when driving through today), as well as online mapping (from reliable sources) indicates that the A414 is dominant in this multiplex, and any assertion otherwise is therefore a figment of overactive imagination.
