A green sign with a diagram showing an exit branching off the road ahead and the following text.

This one underpowered junction - with its twisting two-way sliproads and busy roundabouts - is the hub of the road network in this part of the country, bringing the A1 together with the A17 and A46. Journeys between places as diverse as London, Yorkshire, East Anglia and Leicester all collide here.
