Motorway gantry sign
A gantry spanning the motorway with blue overhead signs showing the following text.
Forward destinations: The NORTH, Scotch Corner & [Airport symbol] A1(M).
Exit destinations: A168 Thirsk, (A19) Teesside.
Junction number: 49.
The A168 and A19 form an expressway from here to Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Newcastle, so a lot of traffic exits here. It's only between the M1 and this exit that the A1 is the sole north-south route on this side of the Pennines.
