Motorway gantry sign
A gantry spanning the motorway with blue overhead signs showing the following text.
Forward destinations: The SOUTH, Wetherby A1(M).
Exit destinations: A59 York, Knaresborough, Harrogate [Airport symbol].
Junction number: 47.
This section of A1(M), from junction 49 at Dishforth down to a place called Walshford just beyond this junction, opened in 1992, in anticipation of other motorway upgrades joining it in the years that followed. The upgrades did eventually follow, but rather more slowly over the next 30 years.
