A ground-level view of the Woodpecker Junction, looking north from somewhere about halfway back. Leeds, more than any other city, has something of a fetish for these sprawling landscaped interchanges, with traffic lights everywhere. In the distance behind the trees is the newer westbound A64 flyover.
Until this was built in the early 1990's, eastbound traffic flew over Burmantofts Road and the traffic lights, while the whole westbound carriageway dropped down here and stopped at what was essentially a crossroads. The upgrade involved a new flyover, a new sliproad down, the demolition of the actual Woodpecker, and the expansion of the traffic lights to cover an area about the size of Belgium.
