Dear god, what a HUGE IMPROVEMENT! Whereas normally you have to have eyes in the back of your head to watch out for any last minute screeching across from lane 3 to offslip (not to mention the HGV drivers having to be on their toes for those last minute cutters-in), it is now a hugely civilised and easy way to exit the M4!
All the traffic seems to be moving at a constant speed, co-incidentally the same as the heavy trucks, so there is no benefit to trying to "get ahead" of anything and all the traffic just filters in nicely. And that is even with the 2 lane slip road currently down to 1.
Having had to do that blasted M4/M25 junction on a relatively quiet weekend morning recently; and STILL found it to be a race to the bottom for some drivers who think the chevrons are their cue to join the off-slip, I am hoping the roadworks near me take even longer now!
