Route confirmatory sign near Sandyknowes, Newtownabbey (July 2018)
Northbound route confirmatory sign on the Antrim Road. A reminder of the days, before the M2, when this was the main road from Belfast to a wide area between Cookstown and Ballycastle.

Sandyknowes roundabout near Belfast (1)
Sandyknowes roundabout is a celebrity roundabout and star of a thousand traffic reports on BBC Radio Ulster. The sign is self-explanatory. It is on Scullions Road which serves a large commercial area at Mallusk to the NW of Belfast. The roundabout now has full-time lights at some roads. There are vague plans for a flyover to connect it to the Larne road (A8 (M)).

Location, location?
I don't know when this house was built - it looks fairly modern - but it must have been sometime in the pre motorway era i.e mid-sixties when construction of the M2 was started. Junction 4 (Sandyknowes) at this location was opened in 1975. With the nearby Sandyknowes roundabout, the M2, and the A26 at one end, the A8 (semi) motorway to Corr's Corner and Larne going past their back door and the busy B90 carrying lots of local traffic to the M2 passing their front garden who would buy a house in this location today?

Sandyknowes roundabout near Belfast (4)
See Image The slip road to Scullions Road Image is in the foreground. The off-slip from the M2 Image is at middle right. The south-bound on-slip to Belfast is behind the flyover to the right. The full-time lights have made negotiation of the roundabout somewhat safer and less fraught.
