Dist:0.1km<br/>A common scene on this part of the A5: traffic queued behind a slow moving vehicle, in this instance a lorry which is only allowed to proceed at 40mph on this type of road. Traffic in the other direction benefits from an extra lane on the uphill grade.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The old road, before Telford built the bridge in 1792, is marked by the line of a hedge forking off to the right by the road sign on the right of the road.
