The secret junction on the M5 (Image: Google Maps) The M5 motorway, beloved by Brummies for its smooth passage to the South West's holiday hotspots and landmarks like the striking 'Willow Man' sculpture and the upmarket Gloucester Services, is also home to mysteries unbeknownst to many a motorist. YouTube channel AutoShenanigans revealed that there is a covert junction in Devon designed specifically for police use. As per their findings, this enigma of a turn-off lies discreetly between the southbound lanes of junctions 29 and 28, providing exclusive access to the B3181.
In a video detailing the discovery, the channel's presenter noted: "Between junctions 29 and 28, the southbound carriageway has a secret junction linking the motorway to the B3181. "On the motorway there are signs saying 'Police Only' and it's a bit strange because usually you would expect another junction on the opposite carriageway but that's not the case here." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
