So I think that parts of it are good and parts of it are bad but there is one very good thing about it. It is mainly tree lined with fantastic scenery at the Ross end! Could I add a second thought about this nice pathetic motorway? Great Britain is the homeland of the heritage railways. Unfortunately, we have no heritage motorways, to display to our children how it began with our motorways. Completely with pre-Worboys signs, wonky-motorway signs, no asphalt but "white" beton, etc. Well I have now travelled the entire length of the M50 westbound and can offer the following comments.
It's just like driving on a dualled A road - the southern section of the A34 sprang immediately to mind. Only because it's always been a motorway there are no buildings or frontages anywhere along it and consequently it's rather boring running through one field after another between junctions. It's virtually empty. I passed no more than about ten HGVs on the entire route. Compare that to the M5 where I could pass the same number in a few minutes. The hard shoulder varies between narrow, poor quality and nonexistent, and is absent for every single bridge.
The sliproad coming off the M5 southbound to the M50 roundabout is unusually long. Wonder why this is? Junction 3 is great, and has to be driven to be believed. Getting off isn't too tricky as due to the absence of traffic you have plenty of time to brake and take the handbrake turn, but getting back on involves going from a near standing start onto a motorway carriageway!
Truly hair raising. I also noticed a lack of "chopstick" signs coming onto this junction, which begs the question of whether one could legally cycle on the M50 between junctions 3 and 4. The main road past junction 4 is signed "A40" without brackets. The A40 joins at the next roundabout along. Crash barriers were added to the M50 after a very unfortunate and tragic accident that occurred between junctions 2 and 3.
In those days crash barriers only appeared in short sections on this motorway around the central piers of some of the bridges. One day in , a jack-knifed lorry happened to crash end on a section of crash barrier around a bridge pier between junctions 2 and 3, the lorry rode up the crash barrier and straight into the pier of the bridge.
The impact of the crash not only caused the tragic fatality of the lorry driver, but resulted in the collapse of the road deck above the motorway. As has been documented in a number of different sources, the M50 was built as an experimental motorway and the bridge that was destroyed had been the first of its type to have been built on the British motorway network.
As a result all bridges of the same design had to be checked over to ensure that the same mode of failure could not happen again.
Crash barriers were extended on other bridges deemed vulnerable, resulting in standard motorway practice of having crash barriers in the central reservation of nearly all of the motorway network. A milk lorry was travelling on the bridge over the motorway as the bridge collapsed. Amazingly both the driver and lorry escaped with little damaged, although the lorry was stranded as a result of the collapsed road deck, it was successfully recovered.
When the bridge was rebuilt and reopened about 12 months later, the lorry and driver were the first to cross as part of the reopening ceremony. The new section of bridge can be clearly seen from the motorway, as part of the original bridge remains, resulting in two different shades in the concrete due to the difference in age. Most of the M1, M4, M5 and M6 are at least projected at this point. It also included the completed M50 with an extra projected section along what is now the A40 and A as far as Hirwaun.
This is repeated in the main map with a project motorway running from Abergavenny to Hirwaun on what was to become the A Heads Of The Valleys Road, built a few years later. Unfortunately it's long since been thrown out otherwise I'd find it and scan it but it does beg the question of whether the M50 was supposed to go all the way to Swansea?
