A green sign with a diagram showing an exit branching off the road ahead and the following text.
Forward destinations: City Bypass (A720); Berwick; upon Tweed A1 .

Welcome to the A1, by the way. Our southbound journey will take us through East Lothian, down the coast to Berwick, then via Newcastle, Doncaster and Peterborough to London. It would be a good seven hours of driving if you were to do it for real, but here your journey time will depend largely on your reading speed.
