Looking up the ramp from the east side of Brook Street,
the MMU Students Union Building is only a few feet from the southern edge
of the Mancunian Way. Due to a shortage of space, the slip road from the
west side of Brook Street has no acceleration lane. After stopping and
waiting for a gap, drivers must immediately cross into the middle lane
to avoid going down the next slip road at Cambridge St. This is a major
design flaw and ought to disqualify the Mancunian Way from having motorway
designation. Above the road, new signage has been added. The old sign
indicating 'Docks' sadly disappeared before I could photograph it.
