  Pathetic Motorways
Motorway regulations, which state 70 limit unless signs indicate a lower limit, are superior to those giving the limits for single or dual carriageways.
It was originally intended to extend this motorway to the M25 and also go further north but this was never completed and the motorway was detrunked quite recently it was the A41(M) as there was already an M41 in London.
The A41 bypass was indeed a motorway until 1993 (the A41(M)).

  M27 motorway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The M27 motorway is a major road in England.
The motorway was opened in stages between 1972 and 1983.
It is believed that the reason for the otherwise Motorway-standard A27 from the end of the M27 to the junction with the A3(M) is not part of the M27 is that its hard shoulders are not quite wide enough for Motorway regulations.

 Roundabout -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In addition, roundabouts do not cope well with the traffic on motorways or similar roads, thus leading to long tailbacks when they are encountered by the motorist.
Large roundabouts such as those used at motorway intersections typically have two to four lanes around the central hub, and frequently have traffic lights regulating flow during peak hours.
The (additional info and facts about A7) A7 motorway also has a motorway roundabout (at its terminus in (additional info and facts about Kreuzlingen) Kreuzlingen), but it is smaller in size.

 The Motorway Archive. M27, The South Coast Motorway and A3(M)
However the land acquired for this stretch of the motorway was not quite wide enough - by less than a foot - and the Chief Highway Engineer of the day, quite rightly if a little pedantically, ruled that it didn’t conform to motorway standards and must therefore be an all-purpose trunk road.
A narrow gap had been left in the housing for construction of the motorway (a good example of some farsighted planning) but to transport this volume of chalk through a dense housing estate could be environmentally damaging for the residents and there were safety concerns as many young children lived on the estate.
The curvature of the motorway restricted the length of individual conveyor units as they could not be located outside the boundary of M27 (as RRL had assumed in their studies).

 London Orbital:   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
It is an orbital motorway that encircles London, and is approximately 117 miles (188 km) in circumference.
The motorway is currently being widened to ten lanes between junctions 12 and 14, and twelve lanes between junctions 14 and 15, which is due to be completed by the end of 2005.
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 pylons converge on the two Nursling sub stations from the power stations on the Solent and the distribution grid to the south-eastern and to the south-western counties.
To complement the motorway, a retail park, an industrial park and several hotels have been built.
A 140-bed hotel on the M271, 32 beds at the Balmoral Inn and 48 beds on the south side of the M27 at the Rownhams service station, with 48 planned for the north side.

 CBRD - Bad Junctions - M27-M271
The M271 connects the superior dual-three-laned carriageway from the docks to the M27 and M3 but the queues are so bad that HGV vehicles and car carriers plough down from the top of the M3 through the suburbs (Bassett Avenue) to avoid it, creating massive congestion in a low capacity inner-city network.
The M271 actually is a highly important route but it needs a grade seperated junction with left and right funnels from the northbound carriageway and a left filter from M27 West onto M271 South.
The M271 is two lanes, both of which become blocked with traffic (cars, lorries leaving the docks and the Nursling Industrial Estate) that wants to turn right to travel east on the M27 and are held up by the roundabout traffic lights and congestion eastbound on the M27.

 CBRD - Motorway Database - M60
The plan was, of course, to give the motorways around Manchester a single, coherent number when the gap on the east side was closed, and admittedly M60 makes more sense than M63, M66 and M62.
In 2000, the section between junctions 19 and 24 opened (originally meant to be M66), which was the last section of motorway to open that was funded with public money.
When work was finished there, no new motorways were under construction in Britain for the first time since 1956 when the Preston Bypass work began.

 Press Notice, Highways Agency
Work on an improvement scheme for the M271, north of Southampton, is to begin on Monday February 17, the Highways Agency announced today.
The scheme will widen the M271 northbound carriageway to three lanes with one lane made into a dedicated left-turn lane on the northbound approach to the M27 Junction 3 roundabout, improving safety and driver access to the M27 motorway, and cutting down on peak time traffic queues.
The scheme involves widening 100 metres of the M271 on the approach to the roundabout, new signals, safety barriers and resurfacing the road with anti-skid surfacing at a later date to improve safety.

 Ramp Metering Launched   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The slip road where traffic from the M271 and the M27 merges with the M3, was chosen for the demonstration, with the press invited at 7:30am to observe the system while traffic was at its peak.
It is a system designed to regulate traffic flow on to motorways and prevent the sort of build-up of traffic which often forces drivers to brake further back in the traffic stream.
Similarly, if the motorway became heavily congested while traffic waited on the slip road to join it, the ramp metering system would not be of benefit and vehicles would be allowed to join the motorway without being regulated.

The incident is the latest in a string of attacks when objects have been thrown at vehicles from bridges spanning Hamsphire's motorways.
As reported by the Daily Echo, police have made public appeals for help to end the motorway madness which saw two cars targeted on the M27 in May and July - one at Chilworth and the other at Hedge End - plus another incident in Stoneham Lane, Eastleigh.
No-one has been hurt, but the Stoneham Lane attack resulted in £500 of damage to the roof of a car after an object was thrown either from the M27 motorway bridge or from a nearby pedestrian footbridge.

"Portswood Link Motorway" (M273)-This was meant to come from M27 j5, go along the A335 (as dual) with outward (n/b) facing junctions at the A35 and A3035, before heading west to the A33 which it would have gone under, and had another outward facing junction, before ending at a new transport "interchange" by the station.
The A33 from the M271 to the interchange in the station was going to be upgraded to motorway.
The A35 through Totton is shown as motorway in the plan, so some of these (thinking townhill link here) may have just been gsj'd dc, but they may have thought about upgrading the A35 there.

Sent: 10/8/2004 3:11 PM The M271 northbound terminates at a roundabout junction with the single carriageway A3057.
Presumeably it's a motorway because if you enter this section southbound from the A3057 roundabout, you're irretrievably commited to being on a motorway; therefore it has to be motorway itself.
There is another example of motorway ending in S2 at the end of the M7 in Ireland, SW of Portlaoise.

It seeks to provide convenient access to the adjacent M27 and M271 motorways for the employment uses, and to segregate this traffic from the proposed residential areas.
Alternative means of access avoiding the access to M271 (north) could be achieved via a connection to the A3057, Romsey Road, immediately south of the M27.
Nevertheless, it is considered this proposal is perferable in highway terms, notwithstanding the Department of Transport's objection, subject to appropriate legal agreements covering provision of necessary highway improvement and maintenance works by the developer at no cost to the County Council.
