  M25 motorway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While this is more a structural than a logical issue, at junction 5 near Sevenoaks continuing around the M25 requires the driver to follow the slip roads, as the main routes continue as either the M26 to the east (on to the M20) or the A21 towards the south coast.
The idea of an orbital road around London was first proposed early in the 20th century, through the Lutyens and Bressey plans of 1937 to the Abercrombie Plan of 1945 which proposed a series of five individual roads around the capital.
The M25 was officially opened in October 1986 with a ceremony by Margaret Thatcher opening the section between J22 and J23 (London Colney and South Mimms).

At this point it was once again on the outside of the M25 and followed a new route southwards, crossing the Grand Union Canal and the Great Western Railway swinging to the west of Colnbrook.
However it was not sufficiently large to enclose the whole of the M25 let alone an external collar which would have been necessary for it to be properly analysed as a road option for the London area.
Even today the M25 does not completely encircle London as the eastern crossing at Dartford is formed of the A282 which is a general purpose road partly in Kent and partly in Essex linked by the Dartford tunnel and bridge which are tolled highways.

 Miltary Equipment Guides -M25
The M25 is not a replacement for existing bolt-action rifles, such as the Army's M24 and the Marine Corps' M40A3, but rather the M25 is intended to serve as a sniper support weapon for the sniper team observer.
In addition, the M25 will fill a mission specific role as an urban area sniper rifle, where ranges are limited and high rate of fire is the primary concern.
Chambered for 7.62mm NATO (.308 Winchester) the M25 is capable of firing any 7.62mm ammunition, though it was designed to fire the same ammunition (M118 and M852 Match and Special Ball ammunition) that the M40A3 and the M24 currently fire.

 CBRD - Bad Junctions - A21-M25-M26
The priority route is M25 to M26 - while a fair amount of traffic does go that way, surely the M25 should have priority over all else, what with it being a ring road to 6 milion people and the busiest road in the country.
When finally the ends of the M25 were joined up, it was too late, and the junction had to be adapted.
A point you neglect is that if you want to leave the M25 heading clockwise/south on the A21 is that you have to leave the motorway by a slip road in the outside lane, which is confusing in the least, and if a slow lorry is wanting to get there, probably a danger.

Recommendations from the London Orbit Multi-Modal Study have suggested a package of measures to combat congestion in the South-east, which will now go to the South-east Regional Assembly to be considered before a decision is made by Ministers.
Consultants for the study have made it clear that widening of the M25 should only go ahead with some means of controlling traffic growth and recommend area-wide road user charging with traffic light controls on motorway sliproads.
There is also little talk of a range of soft measures promoted by Transport 2000, such as workplace travel plans, land-use planning policies that reduce the need to travel, better marketing of public transport, and car clubs to reduce vehicle use.

Dubbed the "world's biggest car park" because vehicles are often slowed to standing, the London orbital is the focus of a government-funded study published on Tuesday.
"To put the brake on this growth, at the same time as addressing congestion on the M25, a package of measures that combines new public transport alternatives with road widening and control of road use is needed," he said.

The occurance of the Delta Cephei star is consistent with the fact that it is not a very young cluster, its age may be about 90 million years (the Sky Catalog 2000 gives 89 million).
Also, as the distance of M25 is quite wellknown by other means, U Cephei can by used as one gauging point of the famous, so-called Cepheid distance scale, which is used for distance determinations of nearby galaxies.

WITH a second M25 around London becoming a possibility, Transport 2000 warned today that the South-east could face a bleak future of massive over-development and chronic over-heating that could turn the region into the Los Angeles of Europe.
Transport 2000 emphasised that there was as yet no plan on any drawing board for an Outer M25 but that it was something that could happen almost by default as development pressures lead to a chain reaction of upgrades around the capital.
An Outer M25 may not yet be a line on a drawing board but it could become a reality almost by default.
