A green sign with a diagram showing an exit branching off the road ahead and the following text.
Forward destinations: The SOUTH (A1(M)); Gateshead A1.
Exit destinations: Whickham; Dunston.
Junction number: 70.
Whickham is behind us now, and could have been reached much more easily from the previous junction, but that junction is often so overloaded with Metro Centre traffic that anyone heading for any other destination is encouraged to leave the A1 somewhere else.
