M50 motorway (United Kingdom)
|
|
The M50 motorway in England runs for twenty-two miles westward from the M5 motorway just north of Tewkesbury, to meet the A40 road and A449 road at Ross-on-Wye. It was built between 1960 and 1962, and is one of the few British motorways not to have been widened, retaining its original layout of only two lanes in each direction.
Junctions
(M5 Junction 8) The motorway starts at a roundabout which is Junction 8 on the M5.
Junction 1 Junction 1 is a parclo. The M50 meets with the A38, the second longest A-road in the United Kingdom.
Junction 2 After crossing the River Severn, Junction 2 arrives. The M50 meets with the A417 at this junction, which has an almost 90 degree exit ramp.
Junction 3 Junction 3 is the interchange of the B4421 and the M50. All of the slip roads at this junction are at 90 degree angles, which is a hazard for high speed driving.
Junction 4 The M50 ends here, at a roundabout with the A449.
