M4 J8-9 freeflow

Now pay attention boys and girls. From what I can gather no sabristi has yet attempted to have a go at redesigning this junction. What I've done is removed the horrible traffic light controlled roundabout and replaced it with a tangle of slip roads. For the first time in nearly 40 years it will be possible for A404(M)-M4(E) traffic to use the original alignment of the A4(M). Because J9a is so close I've had to add C/D roads to the eastbound carriageway to avoid weaving.

Junction 8/9 of the M4 as seen in 1973. This was just a couple of years after the M4 was extended westwards to meet up with Tormarton, and the roads actually don't really look any different to now. The abandoned section of former M4 that predates the construction of this layout was obviously grassed over back in 1971 as opposed to simply being left to nature between then and now.
