What's new?
The aim of this page is quite simple - investigate the interchanges of the major road network of Britain and root out the bad ones. Each bad junction has its own page, explaining where it is, what it does, and exactly why it's wrong. You can even respond - if you think a junction hasn't had a fair hearing, you can post your views for others to see.
Junctions can be bad for all sorts of reasons. But in this section, we're looking for bad design, not just the most congested places. Very often the ones most badly affected by congestion are of a perfectly good design, and are just no longer suitable for the amount of traffic they carry. Congestion can also be a symptom of bad design - and that's what we're after.
Click the name of a Bad Junction to open its page. They are arranged here in order of the lowest numbered road at the junction.

Purgatory
Junctions that have been fixed, demolished, made bearable through reduced traffic levels or - in extreme cases - ripped apart by feral mobs of angry drivers brandishing axes and flaming torches, are sent to Bad Junctions Purgatory. You can find them here.
