Tolls on the M48 (and M4) were abolished in December 2018. The toll booths have been removed, but the footbridge which used to run across the top of them has, thankfully, survived and provided the viewpoint for this photo.

The westbound entry slip is on the right. The main westbound carriageway makes quite a bend through where the left-hand toll booths were: I think it is intended to straighten it in due course.
