This short but important length of dual carriageway is part of the complicated junction of the A419 and A420 main roads. The former connects the M4 and M5 motorways and the latter runs between Oxford to the east and Swindon. Drivers heading north from the M4, south of here wanting to travel into Swindon or turn east on the A420 would use this stretch as would drivers intending to go north towards the M5 arriving here from the east or west.
