The M6/M5 interchange southbound is horrendous. Some years ago, when I was in the process of readying my late Father's house for sale in Bloxwich, I would often go there ecey other weekend accompanied by my then girlfriend to keep the building and garden in order. On the Sunday evening, I would have to get my girlfriend back to Kings Heath. If I got on the M6 at Walsall, there was always a huge queue for a mile or two before the junction with the M5. This was all down to idiots that kept right until the last minute before trying to cross the lanes to exit left onto the M5. This slowed down the traffic in all lanes, encouraging more people wanting the M5 to keep right until the last minute. If all of those idiots had got into the correct lane a mile or so earlier, the motorway would have run smoothly.they found MAN easier as it avoided the M6 through Birmingham and that awful M5 interchange.
