A64(M)
Where is it?
Leeds City Centre. It's part of the Inner Ring Road.
Can you show me that on a map?
What makes this a pathetic motorway?
It's part of the Leeds Inner Ring road, along with the A58(M).
It helps speed traffic around the city centre, and makes the centre a more pleasant place for pedestrians.
It's an excellent example of an urban motorway.
So, what's so pathetic about it?
It's Britain's shortest numbered, signed motorway. A whole 0.7 miles (1km) long in one direction, and a little longer in the other, due to the sliproads on the end junction.
So why does it have its own number?
Simple - the A58 turns off at the junction where the Inner Ring Road changes from being A58(M) to A64(M).
Ah, so it's well worth some photos then?
Can I see some more?
There's a whole section on the Leeds Inner Ring Road on www.cbrd.co.uk.
Can I comment on this motorway?
Of course! Contact me and I'll put them here!
Have any other visitors commented?
Alex Richardson:
Like the A6144(M) the A64(M) has to rank as a PATHETIC motorway has all it has to show for it is that it must be the only motorway in Britain that goes in a loop around a Ring Road and that it is only 600 yards long makes makes it even more PATHETIC has it will take you around 10-15 seconds to go from start to finish on the motorway and to tell you the tuth it should never have been a motorway and it does not even look like one.
