So, from that, what would you expect Four Lane Ends and Five Lane Ends to be? Logically it would be the point where 4/5 lanes meet, perhaps at a roundabout or at a traffic light controlled junction...? Well, you'd be wrong for thinking that! Here they are:
As you can see, Four Lane Ends would be better off called "One Lane Goes Through and Two Others End" and Five Lane Ends is clearly "Six Lane Ends"...
I wonder if it's worth starting a one-man campaign to get their names changed?

I think it was only five lanes once and they added one ... changing the name will only confuse people ... you know how us old folks are!
'you go past 12 lane ends and ... er ... 12 lanes? is that near five lane ends?'
My father used to call the junction where the A614 meets the A1 and the A57 (not too far from Worksop) "Five Lane End". That made slightly less than no sense either...
