Motorway gantry sign
A gantry spanning the motorway with blue overhead signs indicating one lane exiting and two continuing ahead, and the following text.
Left lane destinations: Welwyn; A1000 [Solid circle diversion symbol].
Right-hand two lanes destinations: The NORTH, Stevenage; A1(M).
Junction number: 6.
For many years this junction was laid out with three lanes on the A1(M) until the point where the entrance sliproad merged in, at which point the third lane ended. Now it narrows to two lanes here which makes the pinch point slightly easier to handle.
