This is probably the worst junction on the M4.

Reading council need to sort out this traffic bottle-neck!

The recent junction improvements that have almost finished half the costs of the improvements was apparently paid for by Tesco so a new distribution centre could be built on the site of the old courage brewery.

  • This is one the be avoided. Traffic queuing for the roundabout causes congestion on all routes into the juntion and it can take well over 30 minutes to cross. Traffic queuing on the roundabout also blocks traffic trying to flow around/across it, there are some proper idiots in reading! The good news is that they're spending £65m on rebuilding it, the bad news is that it's just going to be a bigger round about, when perhaps the best idea would be to build a proper duel carriageway/motorway interchange!
  • I find the biggest problem on this roundabout is idiots that don't know which lane they are meant to be in to get where they are going!! They then force their way into a different lane, the lights change, and then there are 3 cars in a yellow box blocking the next lot of traffic. I often take a 10 miles diversion home from work just to avoid it!....and I agree with Paul, the "improvements" aren't going to make a difference!
