- Easy. What you want is the junction by the Bull Ring, top of Digbeth, next
- to New Street. Loads of two and three carriageway roads meet in the most
- splendid confabulation. Dropping someone at New St and then going back
- the way you came is heaps of fun.
-
- The other enjoyable feature of Brum roads is the ``disappearing lane''.
- Imagine three lanes at traffic lights, all going straight on. You all
- start off, jockeying for position, when the lane you're in disappears in
- the space of 20m. Merging into an artic isn't easy. They're too solid.
