What are junctions?
Motorway junctions are points where roads connect to the main motorway, allowing traffic to enter or exit. The M3 closure between junctions 8 and 9 in the story means that section of the motorway is inaccessible, forcing drivers to use alternative routes. Junction numbers help drivers navigate and understand specific locations on the network.
