(b) that length of the anti-clockwise carriageway of the M25 beginning at the southern edge of the bridge carrying the B1335 Stifford Road over the M25 at junction 30 and ending at the start of the southern parapet railing of the bridge over the carriageway of the M11 at junction 27;

(c) the carriageways of the clockwise slip roads;

(d) the carriageways of the anti-clockwise slip roads; and

(e) the linking carriageways.

2.  Any reference in this Schedule to—

(a) the letter “M” followed by a number or a number followed by the letter “M” in brackets is a reference to the motorway known by that name;

(b) the letter “A” followed by a number is a reference to the road known by that name; and

(c) a junction followed by a number is (unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the junction of the M25 of that number.

“on-slip road” means a slip road intended for use of traffic entering the M25;

“off-slip road” means a slip road intended for use of traffic exiting the M25; and

“linking carriageway” is a reference to a carriageway (or specified length of the carriageway) linking a part of the M25 to another part of that motorway or to another motorway.

4.  The clockwise slip roads are—

(a) the on-slip roads which connect—

(i) the A12 with the clockwise carriageway of the M25 at junction 28; and

(ii) the A127 with the clockwise carriageway of the M25 at junction 29.

(b) the off-slip roads which connect the clockwise carriageway of the M25 at—

(i) junction 28 with the A12;

(ii) junction 29 with the A127; and

(iii) junction 30 with the A13.

5.  The anti-clockwise slip roads are—

(a) the on-slip roads which connect—

(ii) junction 29 with the A127.

6.  The linking carriageways are—

(a) at junction 27, the carriageway from the M11 northbound, beginning at the diverge from the linking carriageway to the M25 anti-clockwise and ending at the merge with the M25 clockwise;

(b) at junction 27, the carriageway from the M11 southbound, beginning at the diverge from the linking carriageway to the M25 anti-clockwise and ending at the merge with the M25 clockwise; and

(c) at junction 27, the carriageway beginning at the diverge from the M25 anti-clockwise and ending where the carriageway divides into separate linking carriageways to the M11 northbound and M11 southbound.
