Ringway St. Patricks, Coventry

This dual carriageway was the last section of the ring road to be completed in the 1970's. The angle of the sunlight highlights the poor condition of the road surface - roads in Coventry were very poorly maintained during the first few years of the 21st century and they are only just starting to be repaired. Also note the recently installed crash barrier on the left of the photo - I understand that it is designed to crumple if a vehicle hits it. The red brick building on the right is the employment exchange /job centre on the corner of St.Patrick's Road and Cheylesmore.
