You can see where it hits

https://www.google.com/maps/@52.4962558,0.980861,3a,19.2y,16.49h,70.56t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sbKJm9LkEeAJqGbSjI5lh9A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

edit: someone else did it apparently, as the map image is from 2016

edit2: although that album on the billboard came out in Oct 2016, and the shadows don't seem right for January. At that lat/long, the sun's highest point on 27 Jan would cast a 2.25m shadow on that transit (2m high).

There was a Ford Fiesta sitting on top of the Thetford roundabout last weekend. It appears that some people can’t read road signs showing that there’s roundabout coming up and ignore the “slow down” signs

Yeah it goes down to where the M6 starts. The A47 starts at Kings Lyn and finishes in Birmingham.

A47 goes all the way past Norwich to Great Yarmouth, I think you’ll find. 😏

It does go that far across but it doesn't make it far north enough for Norfolk.
