77) M4 Motorway

The M4 Motorway runs on a raised section right through the town. As you can see from the sketch - and I made this one on a Sunday afternoon, hence the lack of traffic - from Margam right through the town the M4 only has two lanes on each carriageway. It's fair to say that this causes a LOT of congestion, and for a while a couple of years ago a couple of junctions leading to and from the town on the Motorway were actually closed at peak time. Didn't seem to work. 

When I first moved here, Port Talbot was the place where the M4 suddenly and abruptly ended, to begin again a couple of miles west of the town. The linking section was finally opened in the mid 1990s. 

53) Dan Y Bryn Road and M4 Motorway

An unremarkable residential Street, yes. However, what I really like about it – and I admit that you can’t see this in a single sketch, is the way that the M4 here bends right round, and you can actually see it in your rear view mirror at the other end of the road, at the same time as you can see it through your windscreen, which you can see in this sketch.
