Belmont Roundabout (More commonly known as The ASDA Roundabout due to the supermarket off of it) is at the junction of the A49 and A465 to the south of Hereford. Ross Road is the A49, Belmont Road is the A465 and Belmont Ave is nearby. The A49 runs from Ross-on-Wye to Bamber Bridge, Near Preston. The A465 runs from Neath to Bromyard.
The junction was originally a standard roundabout but was changed to its current layout in the mid 2000's when ASDA was built on the northern side of it. A further modification happened at the end of 2013 when a road was built through the centre of the junction to enable traffic to get from the southbound A49 into ASDA avoiding Ross Road. The junction is notorious due to it's overuse of traffic lights which worsen jams around the already congested city, with queues often back along Ross Road and Belmont Road even outside of rush hour times.
