The eastern approach to Saltend Flyover

This flyover is peculiar in that the traffic on it only goes in an east to west direction! The flyover traverses a large roundabout which serves the roads to Hull, Preston, Hedon, Paull and the Saltend Chemical Complex. This road setup replaces a much smaller roundabout, which in its time, was a big traffic bottleneck. By and large, the new system works relatively well, although certain driving individuals regularly misuse the west-east laning system to 'queue jump'!
