The road in the distance is the Plymouth Parkway which takes traffic through Plymouth and over the Tamar Road Bridge into Cornwall. The Parkway replaced the narrower road in the foreground which has been converted from a dual carriageway to a single carriageway with a cycle lane. The road is clear of traffic but it is in fact very busy. The photographer had to wait about 10 minutes to get this traffic-free shot.
