This wonder is the A358 north of Taunton

Old A303-current A358 - Coppermine - 19934.jpg
Old A303-current A358

Looking south at the former A303/A358 junction near Horton. The A303 went from the left and then right at the junction in the background. The A358 from Taunton came out in the foreground, then right and straight ahead in the background. Both were mini rbts, now removed. The black & white island is the only survivor of these. The A358 now follows the A303 route round the bend and, on to its original route, hence the changed priorities now.

A303 - Horton bypass

Naturally, I slipped through Horton to bypass most of the jam. Ironic really. This is from the A358 bridge, on the section towards Chard. Looking west.

Old A38-A358

A once important but now, completely forgotten junction in Taunton. Looking north towards Bridgwater. Old A358 to Ilminster on right. It is cut off now, going into modern housing developments. M5 J25 replaced it in Nov 75, when the section from Bridgwater connected to the Taunton bypass which had opened in April 74. During that interim phase, all traffic must have turned in/out of the A358 off the M5.

A303

View east, with the A358 Southfields rbt just around the bend. Coming in to that rbt on this A358 (old A303), I had to just force my way out into the chaos and into Ilminster to bypass the bypass. More irony.

A358 Park and Ride

Going home past the works by M5 J25. Looks like the new road will move to the right a little, with lights that will cause even more congestion than there already is here.

Turning around to the old route from Taunton, now gated off. It crosses the modern A358 beyond the trees, at a location already in the Gallery.

Looking south, where the old is bisected by the new. It went on to join itself and, the old A303 near Ilminster, at a short multiplex, now just the A358.

A358

I'm not sure about these road markings, why not just have a single white line either side of the cheverons and not allow overtaking...there isn't space anyway.
