The A4 heads towards Bristol but it meets the A4174 Ring Road at Hicks Gate and is consequently a persistently busy spot. Normally. But this is the Covid-19 lockdown and there are hardly any cars on the road now. However, shortly after the shot was taken a cyclist, travelling at high speed, went down the right-hand lane in the wrong direction. Avoiding a solitary car, he carried on regardless to the roundabout. Hopefully he would have seen sense and got onto the right side by then.
