[TheFlame]

I almost always use junction 26, it's far closer to the ring-road than junction 25.

Stop it

Junction 26 if your coming from the North
Junction 25 from the South

TITBEAM why would you argue with Google? Do you think you win that fight?

Not backing rotflmspeedingbanbean, but Google often gets it wrong with its routes as to which is quicker.  Sometimes it tries to send you some very strange routes.

[Longy]

When I go do saaath, I always take the A46 and then onto M1 at Leicester, the A453 is just a massive bottleneck round Clifton. I live Bridgford so obv the J25 is not really an option.

Argue with google? I'll tell google thank you very much

Considering everyone used to think that I lived in nottingham when i'm from Essex I should know the routes!!!


Also Tikay if you want the nice routes, you could always try coming off at Loughborough, the route out of Lboro to the Nottingham Knight Premier Inn junction with the A52 is a really nice road, and great fun


Also gatso wins!

Turbo? That extra 0 in the starting stack must be a typo then

Part of the A46 is concrete-paved, as opposed to the smoother macadam blacktop which we all prefer, but even that is quaintly appealing to people planning on charging you to fix your suspension and osteopaths.

FYP etc. etc.

This section of the A46 is a part of the old Roman Road, the  Fosse Way, so it's straight as an arrow. It does have one speed camera on it, but apart from that it's like the Mulsanne straight. I still think J24 is the way forwards however- unless you know the traffic is cack on the A453. Surely the A606 from the A46 to Nottingham is just as bad as the A453, though?

Oh and live 5 mins walk from DTD is optimal, obv.

[rex008]

I have to choose which way to turn out of my drive. One way is 20 mins, one way is 21, although these can be reversed depending on whether there is a church service going on and all the christians have blocked the road, damn them.

[EvilPie]

If you want scenery and shit surely A46, A6, A60 is the way to go?

Fu**in trees everywhere and if you're lucky you might get stuck behind a tractor for half an hour.

[nosey-p]

Playing on Saturday

[StuartHopkin]

Yeah personally I am a fan of, left, left, 3rd exit at the island, 4th exit at the island, left, right, left and park.

Good grief, you must be as old as me to remember the "old" Mulsanne straight with such affection.

Mocking apart, I've enjoyed reading the various routes people take, & the variety of opinions. I was not aware that the A46 on that section was part of the Fosse Way, I sort of thought that was the A5, but now I realise that's wholly illogical, my bad. The section to which we refer must be 7 or 8 miles, totally straight, all Dual Carriageway, with no roundabouts, traffic lights, no nothing. Compare that with the A453 past Radcliffe Power Station, job done.

Perhaps I'd better continue my inane road ramblings on my Diary, rather than here.

The A46 has it's own wikipedia page.

Edit: Blimey, I've just realised that almost every A road has it's own page. There are some real saddos about .
