Where am I? (Roads)

[Ivo]

I did say that you could post photos in the "Guess the road" quiz but it would seem people would prefer a photos only quiz then?

Going by recent forum tradition one would assume that with a title of "Guess the __________" it would be a photos-only game in itself...

For now I'm going to call an open floor. Pathetic Motorways aside I wouldn't really know where to source a picture from for this, and the choice on there is of course restricted to a limited number of motorways only...

(Any ideas are welcome, but this is still an open floor.)

It's just strange that someone would start this quiz when there is already a "Guess the road" quiz then.

 

[Nym]

Should be easy...

This is a primary A road in the UK... Also classified as a 'Trunk Route' under old standards.

The A66 between Penrith and Keswick?

I wasn't aware the other thread allowed pictures, however it seems to be that most games have a picture variant and description counterpart, so I think it should be left as it is. (I don't want a huge debate on this).

That's fine, I'll change the other quiz to no photos allowed.

If you'd have stopped typing earlier you'd be right

Darn, but I don't have access to pictures currently so it would have been open floor anyway; I guess you want the area still though?

EDIT: as Nym has not specified if the location is required I shall post this:

 

[Nym]

God, so many places that could be...

It was 8sMi West of Keswick on the A66...

 

[Ivo]

I'm thinking possibly the A329(M)? I really don't think that works though, unless it's the stretch approaching central Reading that does not carry the (M) suffix.

No

I'll give you a clue, it's quite near Nym.

 

[Nym]

How near me? Many places it could be but have been updated recently (last 10 years)

 

[Class172]

It is a short route, and oddly it doesn't where it's road name suggests, however this is to be fixed.

 

[Nym]

Looking backwards down the A555 heading away from Handforth towards Gilbent Jcn on the A34, just before the exit slip...

And it is all in Zone 5 so thats throwing me a little bit...

Here... http://g.co/maps/xy9ke

Since I know I'm right...

I'll be back in a moment with one

Stolen from google again, shamelessly being similar to the last one

 

[Class172]

Yes, it was the A555.

 

[Nym]

Yes, it was the A555.

I know See above for the new one, floor is not open...

 

[Class172]

Looks familiar to me: M57 going away from Switch Island?

 

[Nym]

So close, so very very close, but not that close geographically. Still close though.

 

[Class172]

Not the start of the M58?

 

[Nym]

Nope, it's the end of the M58, rather than where it SHOULD have ended at the M61 between Junctions 5 and 6.

 

[Class172]

Voilà!

 

[Nym]

Pure guess as the only D4AP I know is the A282 at Dartford Crossing

 

[Class172]

You're very close, but it isn't the A282.

 

[Nym]

A2..?

 

[Class172]

Yep, looking down the A2 E from the Swanley Interchange (M25 J2).

 

[Nym]

Yay

Shouldn't be hard this one... Is a motorway.

 

[Class172]

I cant think of any motorways with 2+4 lanes...

M56 J3?

 

[Nym]

Nope, this is a rather funny part of the road network. Look into the distance on the RH Carriageway for a clue...

 

[Class172]

Not M25 J13? (surely there aren't enough lanes)

 

[Nym]

Nope, you're moving in the right direction though.

We're in the 'middle' of a 'junction' (That should really do it!)

 

[Welshman]

Is it the southern end of the M40 by Beaconsfield services, just before it joins the M25?
