Roadworks at the top of Apache Pass

A rather simple submission, this picture was taken at the end of July and it shows the M27 Climbing Lane works on a sunny day. Since taking this photo the works have been downsized noticeably and the cameras removed.

A34 Newbury Bypass

The most disappointing road in the world?

A34 Newbury Bypass

A failed attempt to show how nasty the lay-bys are. Damn that car! You can just about make out how tight the merge is, and all the lay-bys on the by-pass are like this.

Everyone starts moving left. How many 'true' fork signs like this are there?

Start of the A34 - -3 - Coppermine - 22955.jpg
The A34/A33 split at the start of the former road. I'd forgotten just how few signs there are for the split. And all the road markings have been removed!

Those two cars in the distance cut across at the last minute.

Traffic lights were added because there is a crossroads just behind that red car, ironically called Blind Lane.

A500 lay-by

The A500 Stoke D-road is great, but here there is a good 350 yards of lay-by on either side which are always packed. I'm sure they started a thread of some sort on the forums.

M275 unfinsihed junction - Coppermine - 4241.jpg
M275 unfinished junction

Looking over the fence to the right of this photo. The other half of the roundabout should be here, and the fence in the distance should be sliproad.

You can easily imagine this as a roundabout interchange.

M275 - Coppermine - 4236.jpg
M275

Start of 60 mph limit (was 50). Far sign reads 'No hard shoulder for two miles'. There is one, it's just narrow, and by two miles they mean 'on motorway'.

M275

I'd hate to have to read that if I didn't know where I'm going.

Look at how the right hand part of the sign is bigger. This is just the old sign bodged up.

UPDATE! Good news, this sign has been removed!

They still call it the M27 (E)...

Look at how the right hand part of the sign is bigger. This is just the old sign bodged up, hence the VMSs being slightly out of place.

Surely there are better ways of signing this, it seems pretty rubbish.

Look at how the right hand part of the sign is bigger. This is just the old sign bodged up, hence the VMSs being out of place and the sign being pointlessly big.

J12 has to do 50 (is it really possible round that sliproad) whilst we adjust to NSL.

Pointless roundabout - Coppermine - 9090.jpg
Pointless roundabout

A seemingly pointless roundabout, though it slows us down and allows slower vehicles to get out of the way.

The M27 is in the background.

Where am I?

A pre-Worboys sign on display in the Wirral Transport Museum. I can't place this one on the map, it could be just south of Birkenhead.

EDIT: Now located with thanks to Bryn, it's the start of the New Ferry Bypass here.

Pre-Worboys Sign from Upton

A pre-Worboys sign on display in the Wirral Transport Museum. I believe this is from a now unclassified junction in the nearby village of Upton, facing south.
