Sign at start of A51 in Chester

This sign is on a traffic island at the A5268/A51 junction. As such, the number A51 does not benefit from brackets.

A51 "roundabout" at the Bars in Chester - Coppermine - 18692.jpeg
Signs at A5268/A51 'roundabout' at the Bars in Chester

Two primary A roads leave the roundabout here, not that you can tell from the picture. The sign for the road on the left reads Nantwich (A51), Whitchurch (A41) (sorry about the light), but is actually the A51.

The road in the centre of the picture is the A5268, leading to the Pepper Street car park and the road to Wrexham beyond it.

This is an 'All through traffic' sign on the junction between two primary routes. Perhaps not for much longer, though.

Apologies for the blurriness here on in. Going under the second railway bridge now, the new build ends shortly to pick up on an older road.

This stretch is called Power Station Road, and has been here for a long time as a quiet industrail estate road, until now. It's been recycled into a bypass.

Heading southbound on the A51. Ahead is a new roundabout, left is the Rugeley bypass, and right is the original route into the town. We leave NSL behind, and do 40 for the time being.

As we turn on to the new road we are greeted with a 50 limit, which covers the whole stretch, except for 30 at junctions. On the right is a combined footpath/cyclepath. The litter appears to be accumulating, tut tut.
