My un-favourite junction A2 (eastbound) to "M25" (or rather the A282 as the M25 becomes a few yards before they squeezed in a horrible little slip for traffic coming from the A2). You are coming up from a different level so its not great for see or be seen, the cars are mostly doing 80 as "its the M25 really, isn't it?" and the lorries are... 5 May 2010 07:10
