The A419/ A417 has been steadily improved since the 1980s, gradually being transformed into a truly excellent road (albeit with a huge exception at Birdlip Hill in Gloucestershire). The most recent schemes (2007-9) have eliminated residual traffic light and roundabout junctions around Swindon with bypasses and motorway-style junctions. Commonhead is one of the latter. Transport investment in the right place for once. For a "works phase" photo from a similar position, see: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/432399
