Hanger Lane gyratory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Hanger Lane Gyratory System)
The Hanger Lane gyratory is a large, complex roundabout system at the intersection of Western Avenue (A40), the North Circular (A406) and Hanger Lane in the borough of Ealing in west London. It covers an area of about 30,000 square metres. An above-ground section of the London Underground Central Line passes under the roundabout. The island in the middle contains Hanger Lane tube station and a nature reserve (Site of Importance for Nature Conservation).[1]
In December 2007 it was named Britain's scariest junction.[2]
The junction became a gyratory system in the early 1980s when the western side of the loop was built.
