My submission for item 10, a motorway intersection

– Whole intersection must be visible - It is.

I claim a bonus point as the photo was taken during daylight with no traffic visible

The Tipner interchange on the M275, Portsmouth. Taken Sunday August 2, 2020 at 06:17

The M275 motorway brings traffic from the M27 into the City of Portsmouth, the first junction is the Tipner Interchange which leads to the Portsmouth Park and Ride scheme - the large car park on the left of picture.

Parking is free at the moment as the bus service is suspended. Normally it costs £4 to park and take a bus into the city. The cost is per car, not per person so up to 5 people, adult or child can travel on the one ticket. The buses follow circular routes around the shopping, university and law court areas and travel is unlimited for the day of issue.

Disclosure: This is an unretouched photo that, apart from curve adjustment and sharpening, has not been manipulated. I have viewed it at full size and cannot see any vehicle on the motorway or on the slip roads and roundabout.

I did have a plan B that involved astrophotography techniques …
