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.

Merlin Way, Stratton, Swindon
This short but important length of dual carriageway is part of the complicated junction of the A419 and A420 main roads. The former connects the M4 and M5 motorways and the latter runs between Oxford to the east and Swindon. Drivers heading north from the M4, south of here wanting to travel into Swindon or turn east on the A420 would use this stretch as would drivers intending to go north towards the M5 arriving here from the east or west.

Bi-lingual road sign, A420, Swindon
This sign is in both English and Welsh. The contractors, visible in the background, possibly have just finished a project in Wales before starting this one. The image was obtained using a lot of zoom from a footbridge. More information in this image
