I knew this had to be Auto Shenanigans, one of the hidden gems of YouTube. I’m not a motorway nerd at all, but this is the Clarkson’s Farm of road infrastructure.

I am now a motorway nerd, having first seen Jay Foreman's "Unfinished London" series with the stuff on the Ringways, and then found this channel a month or so ago. Every time we pass the M25/M26 interchange, I comment on the fact that, to exit the motorway, you have to use the right two lanes (!!!). It's a whole thing with my wife now, where she is a little bit interested but doesn't want to encourage any further motorway history conversation. I've got to really tread a careful line.

I didn't watch it all.. but it was interesting to see the why on some of my local motorways.
