Battlefield Roundabout
Image: © TCExplorer Taken: 12 Jul 2023
Major roundabout, built in 1998, on the northern outskirts of Shrewsbury, where the A49 meets the A53 and the A5124 link road. A new ALDI store (opened in 2023) is visible adjacent to the roundabout. The provision for cyclists is there, but the cycle lane around the roundabout appears to be poorly thought through. Photo taken at 08:40 when traffic on the A49 towards the top of the image is regularly congested. The field to the east of the A49 (to the middle-top-left of the photo) is being promoted by Andrew Dixon & Co as "employment land for industrial use for inclusion in the Local Plan" subject to Planning Permission - see https://web.archive.org/web/20230712093321/https://www.andrew-dixon.co.uk/propertyInfo.asp?id=793&catId=5&selproperty=5&minSize=-500&maxSize=10000499
