“Since that junction is far busier now than when it was built then it's about time a proper motorway junction was built with appropriate slip roads and no traffic lights. Motorists in this country have paid a small fortune (no, make that a large fortune) to the government in taxes to get crummie junctions like that roundabout and poor road surfaces.”
