Slow for the trumpet
Signs and road markings indicate the tight turns required to get from A55 to A494 eastbound. This junction is a very late (1984) example of the "trumpet" style of free-flow road junction, much favoured in 1960s UK motorway building, but rapidly disfavoured due to the tight curves inherent in its design. Although free-flow design is generally preferred, in this instance it is arguably a mistake, since this junction's construction gave rise to three intersections within one mile on a 70mph road with layouts which mean "weaving" between conflicting traffic flows is inevitable. A roundabout here with "collector lanes" between Ewloe and the A494 western junction (A55 33a) might well have been a safer and equally efficient design.
