A-road lane allocation sign
A green sign showing the left lane exiting and the other two lanes continuing ahead, and the following text.
Left lane destinations: Metro; Centre .
Right-hand two lanes destinations: Newcastle [Airport symbol]; Morpeth; A1; Hexham (A69) [Solid circle diversion symbol].
Junction number: 71.
The Metro Centre (or, on some newer signs, Metrocentre) is the North East's huge out-of-town shopping mall, and this junction is where all the traffic bound for the shops will turn off.
