Gallery:A404
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.

Yes its done. Finally a slip road to Birmingham and Oxford. This is the advance sign of the remodelled Handy Cross Junction (Junction 4 of the M40 for the non locals).

Approaching the sign for the new slip road. Looks better than the old roundabout sign and notices saying Queues Likely

This is the A404, which is used by many people going from the M40 to the M4, some of whom are probably blissfully unaware they are crossing the Thames, and travelling from Buckinghamshire (left) into Berkshire (right). Beyond are the slopes of Quarry Wood and Winter Hill.
Community shops on the A404 road.
The junction with Gravelly Way and beyond that the turning for Holmer Green, Earl Howe Road.

From Watford Road looking north
Seen from the junction with Pinner Road, on the right, and George V Avenue on the left. The cars coming straight across the junction are joining the Pinner Road which bends sharply left here.
