Just another road
It may not look much but this is part of an old Roman road that once was a strategic part of the highway network of the UK. It lies immediately adjacent to the A419 dual carriageway south of Commonhead, Swindon.

A419 - the southernmost section
Viewed from just north of the M4 roundabout, the start of what is now - with one glaring exception around Birdlip Hill - an first-class "A" road across country from Swindon to Gloucester. One of the rare UK examples of transport investment in the right place.

A419 approaching Commonhead junction
The A419/ A417 has been steadily improved since the 1980s, gradually being transformed into a truly excellent road (albeit with a huge exception at Birdlip Hill in Gloucestershire). The most recent schemes (2007-9) have eliminated residual traffic light and roundabout junctions around Swindon with bypasses and motorway-style junctions. Commonhead is one of the latter. Transport investment in the right place for once. For a "works phase" photo from a similar position, see: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/432399
