The M275 into Portsmouth also has narrower lanes than is standard fromits junction withM27, across its causeway to its terminus near the city centre - 70mph still though!

Quote>> How about the M8 in Glasgow? (Limited shoulders, mad junctions?and 50/60 mph speed limits)<< from Mistral.

I forgot about that one - I was always of the impression the M8 through Glasgow was like a LA freeway - with ridiculous duplicated exits, spaghetti-like expanses of carriageways side by side (the width of the stretch between junctions 20/21/22 where the M77 branches off is just crazy!) and junctions about 300 yards apart in places.

Oh yeah Paul - the M41 too (now a renumbered A-route isn't it?).....

Apologies for the confused syntax of my last but one post - I used the phrase "the point I was making" twice in the same paragraph! Doh!!!

The M5 and M6 in Birmingham seem to have tighter bends than normal for a motorway, and are definitely in an urban area.An area I try to avoid, so I can't recall the hard shoulder situation
