What is the point in these signs notifying road users that they are leaving the 20mph zone and entering a 30mph limit in Highbury, Portsmouth, when the 30mph road is closed off to motorised traffic with concrete bollards? Maybe the speed limit is for cyclists. To further question the necessity of the signs, I think the road on the other side of the bridge will become 20mph, if it hasn't already.

Note the disused tramlines - is this a unique feature for a single-digit A-road??? :)

The very end of the A3! There used to be a slipway here for the old floating bridge which went across to Gosport.

The start of the M27 westbound. Note the 'chopsticks' sign.
UPDATE! The two gantry signs have been replaced with two that are exactly the same but slightly smaller and they each have their own 'chopsticks' symbol.

The trumpet part of M27 J12, the J12 spur and a view of Portsmouth. You can also see the bridge on the M275 in the background.

A Wightlink car ferry from Ryde heads into its berth in Old Portsmouth, under the gaze of the Spinnaker Tower, Portsmouth's nearly new landmark. Taken from inside a local ferry with spray-splashed windows.

Wightlink Ferry 'St.Clare' has just left the terminal beside Camber Dock, and turned into Portsmouth Harbour.
Every year Wightlink ferries carry 5.5 million passengers, 1.2 million cars and 200,000 coaches across the Solent.

The Normandie Express passes The Point; it's massive!
Whilst it's good that some of this stuff didn't get built, it would have been nice if some bits that weren't built had been built.

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.

An extract of the OS map from the mid / late 1960s showing the Havant bypass which predated the Farlington bypass. The original route of the A3(M) would have come between the two carriageways of the link road running towards the top of the screen. Apart from the A27 slip roads and the southbound carriageway of the link road, all these roads on this map have gone. Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Jun 15, 2007 by SteveM

Housing and small businesses on the south side of the road
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.
