Traffic on M40 to A34 on Sunday nights
Driving back from Lincolnshire at the weekend, you go onto the M40 at the very strange and counter-intuitive Northampton junction, and then off at the next junction (Oxford/Bicester) onto the A34.
Every Sunday night it seems to attract vast number of drivers. It must be one of the most populous stretches of road in the country. It can't even be the volume of drivers going back into London after the weekend as most of them turn off onto the A34.
Due to the traffic lights at the A34 junction, the traffic builds up and is released in pulses. It can then take another 10 miles before the traffic flow gets back to something approaching normality.
Ludicrously busy road.

Its all the people going to Bicester village outlet jobby
I used to drive over that roundabout quite a lot when I was going back to West Hendred from Aylesbury. 'Will I die on that roundabout today?' I used to wonder to myself.
That roundabout is the reason I failed to vote in the last General Election. I got in the wrong lane and drove all the way to Banbury before I could turn round. By then I was so annoyed that I went back home instead of driving to Waddesdon, where I was registered to vote.
I hate that roundabout.
