City Centre Loop

Here comes the next junction - I'm not going to complain about this sign because it actually works. There's a first! Anyone planning to build their own Loop, take note.

The junction itself is fairly nondescript - the road forks, with both Loop lanes veering left.

Another simple one - actually the entrance to a car park, for all intents and purposes. The Calls are Leeds's traditional riverfront, now mostly trendy converted warehouses, and the Loop follows twisting Call Lane from here.

Around a couple of corners, there are 'road narrows' warnings, and we drop to one lane for about twenty yards here. Traffic simply treats this as two lanes and ignores it, but even so, it's fairly unprofessional and means the Loop has a single-lane section.

The only main direction sign on the Loop that's not diagrammatic - it's only a crossroads and this is much clearer. Bridge End is to our left, crossing Leeds Bridge; to our right is Briggate, which ends up at J9.

This is J17 - the turning immediately behind the sign, leading to Neville Street and then the M621 - but what it's signed for I couldn't say.

Around the next right hand bend, and the Loop ducks under City Station on Bishopgate.

Here's our final junction, number 18; most traffic heads straight on as the last few turnings have all gone the same way.

The Loop heads uphill to the right here, and immediately hits that first sign for J1.
