Stapleton Road

Stapleton Road is a major thoroughfare in the English city of Bristol, running through the districts of Lawrence Hill and Easton.

This part has been severely affected by the building of the A4320 which completely bisected the road in the 1970s causing a large gap.

[3] The large gap is connected by both pedestrian crossings and a subway, however the road is further disjointed by the fact that through traffic - apart from buses, taxis and bikes - cannot continue along the Stapleton Road here and must travel to the M32 Junction 1 roundabout to get back on to the A432.

[4] After the railway line a short section of the River Frome runs close to the road.

Also, since the building of the M32 the road has become much narrower and one side has become lost to the M32 and traffic can only head northbound.
