There are two junctions at which I can join the A40 trunk road from my house. When I drive East, I use the Easternmost of the two; when I drive West, I use the Westernmost; but I almost never drive the stretch of road between them!
A few years ago I generated heatmaps of my movements based on my long-running personal location log and, indeed, it shows a “cool spot” along this section of road too:
It’s inevitable I suppose that there should exist a “road (segment) less-travelled” right on my doorstep, but it still feels strange. Like when you live near a tourist attraction that you never get around to visiting. Except instead of a tourist attraction, I live near a major highway I rarely use.
Maybe I’m missing out on something great. Probably the commuters who use that road to get into and out of Oxford don’t think so.
Yup. Turn that map 90 degrees and that’s (roughly) our house in our village and the main road through here. I’ve not driven along that bit of the main road more than maybe 10 times since we moved here
You live just off the A40 too? (or are you assuming that my map is oriented towards the North? :troll_face:)
close – just add 4192 to it and you’re there… plus I didn’t say which direction the rotation required 🤔
