Just a warning to anyone exiting the M74 at J5 northbound at the Raith Interchange. They have laid a temporary road surface on the roundabout at the bottom of the slip road for the ongoing major junction improvements. I went round it today and it has a really bad camber on it. I reckon its just a matter of time before it catches someone out and puts them over on their ribs!!!

Yeah I’ve noticed that, I’ve been up and down to Stanford logistics on the Whistleberry all week, some times with a decker, coming down the slip going left at the round… need to be careful there
Probably won’t be too bad during the day when the road is busy and the traffic slower, but I can see a night trunker flying down there early in the morning a bit quicker than normal and going over. Especially in a loaded decker. Is Stanford still in Roadferrys old yard across from yuill and dodds?
Wasn’t it shut there this morning for a long time? Heard on traffic news there was a serious accident involving a truck.

Yes, about a mile further on from J5. Hayton Coulthard hit a highways vehicle in the roadworks. No serious injuries fortunately.

No idea whos yard it used to be, but it is just down from Yuills on the left hand side. Seen a few of your BE motors in there a while back.
Yeah zoom zoom 56 brigade charging down to the green light trying to make it at 2-3am… Oooops road closed
