You can spend your entire life on the M25 provided you never exit at a junction 😅

You'll spend your entire life on the damn M25 anyways, even if you try to get the next exit

Well: A7 in Germany goes all the way from Flensburg, on the Danish border up in the very north of Germany to Füssen on the Austrian border in the very south. 🤷‍♂️

The joke is that the M25 does a loop, not that is long

Ok. Didn't know that. 😅

Then take the A10 around Berlin. 😘

Wait the ring highway around Berlin is called the A10? The ring around Amsterdam is called the A10 as well, funny

Which is worse, the M25 or I-285 around Atlanta?

u/gregredmore 15h ago

The M25 is getting on for twice the length of the I-285. The I-285 might be more congested I wouldn't know.

I asked ai and the short version is "it depends". They are the two most notorious ring roads for congestion.

It sounds like London is worse overall, but Atlanta is worse for specific bottlenecks.

As I push up my glasses I will say...

"Erm, technically it's not a loop, it's an aggressive C. The Dartford Crossing is an A-road."

Etc, etc...

Not sure why you were downvoted, you're right. The only full loop motorway in the UK is the M60.

No the joke is that the traffic jams mean you never get to the next junction, especially if the next junction is the M4
