Lots of lanes (and hard shoulders and ghost islands) where these two motorways meet! I'm standing over the eastbound carriageways, looking east in the evening light.

It has been noted that photo's of Birmingham never win. So here's a fantastic shot from the belly of the Spaghetti Junction. C'mon - Birmingham's not - well you know the rest!

The A9 as it crosses Dunbeath on the viaduct. The old route of the A9 can be seen in the foreground winding its way down under the viaduct and crossing the river on an arch bridge.

Taken Sunday 20th April 2008 from Mill Hill overbridge looking down on the A27/A283 interchange, the Shoreham 'Flyover'.
Opened in 1970 replacing the old single track toll bridge over the River Adur which you can see in the mid-ground.
Eventually connected to the A27 Brighton by-pass in 1996 making this part of a longer distance route.
In the distance is the South Downs and Lancing, Worthing.

The Forth Road Bridge tollbooths stand silently, closed to traffic for ever, as Scotland is now a toll-road free country.

This is a scan of a photo I took in 1981. An impressive bridge, dwarfing the railway bridge next to it!

The now-disused (and eroding) former A4086, right at the edge of Llyn Padarn, Llanberis.
Taken in 2005, and making its appearance as my first ever PoTM entry!

If I'm not allowed two entries, can we postpone the A303 one as this one is more topical

Also from the M6 Birthday weekend earlier in December. This isn't the M6 though, rather a nice snowy road we explored that crisscrossed the motorway a few times. We were so blessed with this gorgeous crisp weather which always makes for a nice photo.

This is a more cropped version of my entry last month. I've now cropped off the rear view mirror at the top and the tax disc at the bottom to make for a less distracting picture. This was my first visit to the Scottish Highlands and I was glad to be a passenger so that I could capture stunning vistas such as this one.

A seldom seen view of Northern Ireland's M2 crossing this rural road, outside Mallusk. The geology of the road allowed the picture to be taken almost on level with the motorway.

I like the way the curve of the bridge is in sympathy with the curves in its environment.
An unusual POTM entry, as you can't see the actual road! But it should crop down well for the banner image.
Winner - July 2006

I like it because it's all white with snow but has a bit of colour (the signs)

We went out for a drive one evening late last week to photograph some of the old bridges that cross the River Thames. As can be seen, it was a beautiful evening that shown this particular bridge (parts of it date from 1250) at its best.
