This short stretch of the old Ilminster Road out of Taunton is not open to through traffic, which means that motorists who wish to get from Blackbrook Way to the M5 junction or vice versa face a trip of 2 kilometres instead of 300 metres. I wonder how much extra petrol is consumed each day? Ironically, the longer route goes past far more residential housing than the shorter.
