Going on holiday? Just returned with pictures or news? Found an interesting website? Post everything international in here.

Have a staggered crossroads on the A1(NI) https://www.google.com/maps/@54.3872976 ... ?entry=ttu

When they initially dualled the A8(NI) they installed these turning loops https://www.google.com/maps/@54.7119845 ... ?entry=ttu , thankfully when the rest was dualled later they used LILO and GSJs.
