That Bloody M50 Sign

[splott parker]

You see the sign coming off the M5 saying ‘South Wales’, you think the back is broken. We’ve all done it so many times but this road to Celtic Manor is the longest road in captivity. Not a light anywhere, it’s a f*cking Chris Rea road l!!!!

Too many roundabouts on the M50/A449 for us .

Likelihood of a spillage , motorway everytime for us

Re: That Bloody M50 Sign

At least the M50, A40, A449 to Newport, for the vast majority of it, still has a limit of 70mph.

Please accept my apologies for interpreting your comment of "M50/A449" as meaning both the M50 and A449, rather than just the A449.

Agreed hate the road, when my Doris used to drive, I'd get her to do the top of the M50 to Ross stretch on the way back from her parents place.

There are no roundabouts on the A449. They are all on the A40 before Monmouth.

There is a roundabout at the junction of the M50/A449 You could argue which of the road its dedicated to.
The same could be said of the A40/A449.

Re: That Bloody M50 Sign

Pedantic f***ers aren’t you

There is s roundabout at the beginning, M4/A449, from the A449, you access the A40, where there are 4 roundabouts , I believe, from here you access the M50, where there is another roundabout, to access the M5

Lots of places for spillages

By going over the New Bridge, there is no slowing down and nice straight lines north

This is incorrect. There are two roundabouts on the A449. The one at Wilton is on the A40 but the two at Ross are on the A449.

Source: I drive the M4 -> A40 -> A449 -> M50 -> M5 -> M6 -> A556 -> M56 -> A5103 once a week and its ****ing tedious.
