M4 M5 Almondsbury Interchange

I recently went through this junction in the passenger seat and even though I've only seen it once what a stupid junction this is. The actual junction 15 M4/M5 interchange is fine as a 4 level stack but as you approach the junction from the south you have 2 lanes that leave the M5 but then traffic from the A38 at junction 16 has to cross into the right hand lane that then rejoins the M5 with the left hand lane leading to the M4.
