Scary roads
Spaghetti Junction in Birmingham has topped a survey of Britain's scariest road systems. The poll for breakdown firm, Britannia Rescue, placed the M8 junctions through Glasgow in second with London's Marble Arch taking third spot.
Between them, Birmingham, London and Glasgow took eight of the top 10 spots. The survey of 3,225 drivers found that as many as 8% avoided "scary" junctions altogether and drove an average of 238 miles extra each year on detours. The poll also showed that 2% of motorists are so nervous they avoid making right turns at all costs, while 14% do not go near urban areas. UK's 10 scariest junctions Gravelly Hill (Spaghetti Junction), Birmingham M8 junctions through central Glasgow Marble Arch, London Magic Roundabout, Swindon, Wiltshire Hanger Lane Gyratory, west London M5/M6 intersection, Birmingham Piccadilly Circus, London Five Ways junction, Birmingham Magic Roundabout, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire Kingston Bridge, Glasgow ![]() Large roundabouts were considered to present the most confusing aspect of urban driving, followed by one-way systems, speed bumps, cameras and box junctions. Some 21% of drivers said they were more concerned about breaking down at an intersection than at any other point.
