A-road gantry sign

A gantry structure spanning the road with overhead green signs showing the left lane exiting and the other three lanes continuing ahead, and the following text.

Left lane destinations: Consett A692; Whickham; Team Valley; B1426.

Right-hand three lanes destinations: The SOUTH (A1(M)); Durham A1; Gateshead (South) (A167) .

Junction number: 68.
