Bristol Spur
Hambrook to Bristol
The M32 is a spur in to the centre of Bristol from the M4, entering the city from the north but actually signposted as the way in from all directions on the M4 and M5. Its terrifically rubbish junction with the M4 is only the start of the traffic problems it suffers.

The M4 into London was one of the UK's earliest and most ambitious motorway projects. It was bold, pioneering... and almost instantly regretted.
An introduction to what I write, and why I write it, and where my strange new road sign simulator fits in to all this.
