A421

Watling Street (V4) in Milton Keynes

The A5

Old signs still left in MK (1)

Back in the early 80's, some bright spark had the idea to have the areas of Milton Keynes on the road signs with their MK postcode, but it confused many and eventually they were all replaced. Except for a couple, this double roundabout is on the old A5, now known as V4 Watling Street..as you approach it from the H3 Monks Way. Not sure how much longer this and the other sign will stay as signs around town are being replaced, so here they are for posterity!

This is gone now, repalced with a modern sign behind the lamppost - C2r, 2015

Here is the other old style Mk road sign, pointing up the old A5 towards Stony Stratford.

Old signs still left in MK (3)

Still along the old A5, well, the original before it was bypassed, and the bypassed again. Sitting at the crossroads between Loughton and Shenley, this sign still stands, helpfully pointing the direction the capital and helpfully, giving you the distance. The man in the picture who was working on the house was slightly bemused by me taking pictures...I was tempted to say 'Don't worry Sir, I am from SABRE...', but I didn't, missed opportunity there methinks!

Milton Keynes- A5 at Redmoor Roundabout
Not the old Watling Street A5 but the rerouted modern dual carriageway version is seen here at the Redmoor Roundabout at the junction with Grafton Street. This view was taken from the haven of peace that is the footpath and cycleway bridge through the middle of the roundabout.

Experimental Traffic Control

Spotted after a bulk change of LED aspects... we're never afraid to experiment here in Milton Keynes!

The City of Roundabouts (C) Cameraman
Not really a city although many residents refer to it as such, Milton Keynes has certainly got its fair share of roundabouts. This view is of Marlborough Street where it is crossed by Groveway at Simpson Roundabout.
