As part of a 2006 redesign, the northbound M57 now contiunues across half the original Switch Island roundabout to end at a T-junction. However, in a flash of brilliance, the new junction's design features two possible right turns, the first of which provides three lanes straight back onto the M57! You have to see it to believe it. See: http://www.cbrd.co.uk/badjunctions/57-58-59/ for more details.
