Coventry's ring road is pure chaos
Have you ever driven the Coventry Ring Road? There's nothing else like it in the world. A tight circular racetrack surrounds the city centre with junctions so close together there's only a few seconds for traffic to get on and off.
Travel back in time to 16 October 2004, and take two laps of the whole circuit - once clockwise and then again anticlockwise. The road has changed since this was filmed, with junction 6 rebuilt and lots of new electronic signs everywhere.
You might also like our long read on the Coventry Ring Road, and some photos we shared more recently of its new electronic signs.
With thanks to Steven Jukes for driving!
