Orbital Motorway[edit]

Birmingham Outer Ring Road currently redirects here, but several of the links to that (including from here) are intended to refer to those parts of the M5/M6/M42 forming a ring around Birmingham. (I see that Birmingham Outer Ring Road used to refer to the motorway ring, but was changed to redirect here because external sources use that name for the A4040 and not for the motorway ring.)

I've changed the one link from the M5 page to not use Birmingham Outer Ring Road and removed a contradiction on the A4540 page and the problem has now gone away. Looks like describing the M5/M6/M42 as the "outer ring road" was the work of an IP editor in 2012 with no basis in reality. Jeni ^(talk) 11:49, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
