A420 adjacent to A419, Swindon
This section of the A420 affords access to the northbound A419 and to the residential areas of east Swindon. Roadworks are being carried out in the far distance. The image was obtained from a footbridge that passes over the roundabout in the foreground and under the A419 thus enabling pedestrians to walk safely through this fairly complex road junction. It was paid for by the developers of the Gablecross business park that includes Sainsbury's and Toys R Us. The blue smudge in the top right corner of the image is smoke.

A419 - A420 exit, northbound carriageway
To provide a flyover at the major intersection near Honda's factory, an asymmetric junction was devised. On the southbound carriageway, the entrance and exit are arranged conventionally either side of the flyover.

Swindon: Falconscroft, Covingham
The committee entrusted with the task of naming the roads in this large 1960s housing estate obviously sought the solution to the problem in their "Observer's Book of British Birds"! Finchdale, Heronscroft, Wrenwood, all the slightly less common ones are there, even Pipitdene. However sparrows, blackbirds and starlings all got the cold shoulder apparently. This one's Falconscroft off Covingham Drive.

A419 junction onto A420
The junction has an unusual layout, with northbound traffic having a slip road leading to a roundabout with a separate road for joining traffic, and more conventional slip roads on the southbound carriageway.
