M25 Clock Map

When radio traffic announcers describe congestion on the M25  orbital motorway (freeway), they use junction numbers to describe where the congestion is. I tried to make sense of this information by plotting the junction numbers onto a clock face to show what direction the congestion is coming from. This is my second attempt.

If they say congestion at junction 1 then it would be the 3 o clock direction or eastward. I added major motorways this time and Heathrow airport in the west. I think it looks a bit clearer than the last one. There is usually more than one junction affected by congestion on the M25 but with the clock map you can see where it is clearly. 

This is how my mind works, always trying to bring clarity and order to a  confusing world. Trying to see the world in a simplified straightforward perspective. 

M25 Clock

I quickly designed a M25 Clock today. The M25 is a dual carriageway motorway road that circles London. When they describe congestion on the M25, they use the Junctions that are affected. I added some of the junctions to a clock face to add meaning. 

If they say congestion at junction 1 then you would know it is 3 o clock direction or eastward location. 

If they say junction 5 to 8 then you know they're talking about south of London. If they say crash at junction 15, you know they're talking about 9 o clock direction or westward. 

The mid 20s junctions are in the north and 23 is 12 o clock. 

If I find the time I will improve the design of the clock. 

The middle layer of the clock is a compass to show north east and west, just in case the future generations don't use hand clock faces.
