OT Reading M4 Westbound Travelodge question

[ARW]

As uk.d-i-y the place to find most answers in the world I'll ask here.

I am booked in on the Westbound side Travelodge.

However I am working to the West.

So to get from work to the hotel it looks like you can exit on the
eastbound M4, drive through the Eastbound services onto Burghfield Road,
cross over the M4 and enter the Westbound services via Deans Copse Road.

Anyone here that confirm that please?

It looks similar to Woolley Edge services where I drive through the
"Lodge guests only" road to join the motorway in a morning instead of
driving to junction 38 of the M1.

TIA

I'm pretty sure there are no physical barriers, but it's 'authorised
access only', so at your own risk. I've done it, though on a motorbike.

Streetview suggests rising bollards controlling access to Burghfield
which looked live in 2016

but are now without the warning signs so perhaps dead

Still with cameras monitoring but AFAIK "No unauthorised access" is not
a traffic management sign; and if so no fine/points. I don't see how
they could impose a civil charge without warning of the amount but then
I don't know how civil works for moving traffic.

reply-to address is (intended to be) valid

Woolley Edge has similar signage. And I use their roads on a frequent
basis as a short cut.

Doncaster now have cameras on the North Bridge. I always used to drive
over that and through the bus station to beat the queues on St Georges
Bridge.
