A594 Leicester Ring Road (C) JThomas
During the planning stage for the
M69 several designs for the terminal junctions were considered. This was the most ambitious design for
M1 J21. The design made use of the existing roundabout bridges beneath the M1. In addition the Leicester Outer Ring Road would have passed over the roundabout at the end of the former
A46(M). There is one flaw in the design concerning the eastbound C/D road beneath the M1 where there is a very short weaving section immediately before the slip road to the northbound outer ring road.
Freeflow design for
M1 J21 as part of plans for the
M69 dating from around 1970. This was one of several junction layouts under consideration at the time. The layout was designed to make use the existing bridges for the roundabout beneath the
M1. No links between the M69 and M1 south were provided.
Map showing the full intended layout of
M1 J21 as originally planned in the early 1970s. The junction was built to allow the M69 to continue to the Leicester Outer Ring Road but it was never completed and to this date the stubs remain unused at the end of the M69. A loop was also to be built to allow southbound M1 traffic direct access to the M69.

A view of St. Margaret's Way which later becomes Abbey Lane & the northbound A6. The photographer was standing at the commencement of St Margaret's Way at its junction with Vaughan Way/Burley's Way (a continuous section of the inner ring road). Dominating the junction is St Margaret's Anglican Church, one of the five oldest churches in Leicester.

Urbis Evolos on the A6 in Leicester. The previous lanterns on these street lights were white coloured and deep bowled Urbis ZX3s.
Older street lights with unusual curved twin brackets and OrangeTek Arialeds. One of the brackets is twisted as you can see. The previous lanterns I think were either WRTL MRL6s or white coloured Urbis ZX3s. This is on Leicester city centre ring-road (A594).
12m steel columns with skinny brackets and Urbis Ampera Maxis (LED). This is along the A5460, on the outskirts of Leicester. I think the previous lanterns were Phosco P678s (HPS/SON) from what I can remember.
