What's wrong with this picture?
This has always made me laugh.. it's the Mancunian way in Manchester. The billboard hides an planning howler, the spur off the flyover, if completed, would meet a one way dual carriageway... going the other way.

So near.. yet so far..

Apparently the designer of the Mancunian Way screwed up on that junction, as this sliproad if completed would've sent traffic the wrong way up a one way street.
So they just left it hanging in mid air, as a conundrum to future generations.

Am i the only one that didnt see this being unusual? it used to be a feeder for the city, but has since been closed and the turn off moved another 100m further down the road.. check out google maps if you dont believe me... not that i did..(ahem):S

theres a similar change to an overpass near the birkenhead tunnel where a flyover has been moved / chnaged.
