Junction 44 of the M4 The eastbound sliproad from the A48 to the M4 near Birchgrove is unusual in that it peels off the inside of the roundabout that straddles the motorway at this point. Traffic approaching from the B4291 (between the two leftmost lamp posts as seen here) and wishing to join the M4 eastbound has to perform a near 360° circuit of the roundabout.
