It isn't comprehensively festooned with traffic lights designed to cause a minimum of a couple of minutes delay to law-abiding road-users, even at dead of night (and much longer during peak hours). Cautiously, one might even suspect that the junction was laid out to allow traffic to circulate without unnecessary delay. |

Having looked at Google Maps, it does not seem that difficult to comprehend. |
