M10 motorway

|
The M10 is a short section of motorway to the north of London. It starts south of St Albans on the A414 North Orbital road and connects to the M1 motorway. It has no intermediate junctions.
Formerly this section of the M1 — which was originally designed and constructed as a London to Birmingham route — connected the new motorway to the A1 north of London via a connecting stretch of the A6. The M1 was subsequently extended to the Berrylands junction with the A41 at Watford (now Junction 5) the resulting spur to London Colney was named the M10.
It has an equivalent at the former northern end of the M1 in the M45, leading towards Coventry.
With the opening of the M25 eastbound traffic levels have increased on the road as it allows traffic to bypass Watford.
