Here, to the north of Brentford town centre, the M4 is carried on a long flyover above the A4. The flyover dates from 1964 when it was built as an extension to the Chiswick flyover to the east. Had planners had their way in the 1960s and '70s much more of London would have had this appearance accommodating an extensive network of urban motorways. The white car, incidentally, parked in a bus lay-by was on Transport for London business.
