Explained in plain English
Why are slip roads important?
Slip roads are crucial links connecting motorways to local roads or other motorways. They allow traffic to join or leave the main carriageway safely, managing speed changes. The closure of a slip road, like the one at Junction 9 mentioned, can significantly impact local traffic and journey planning for a long time.
