A-road gantry sign
A gantry structure spanning the road with overhead green signs showing an exit and the following text.
Forward destinations: Canterbury, London (SE & C) (A2) (M2); (M20, M23) Gatwick [Airport symbol]; Channel Tunnel, Dover A282 (M25) .
Left turn destinations: Dartford A225.
Junction number: 1B.
This junction is with the A225, which is part of a 1920s bypass of Dartford that was once the A2. Today the A2 has moved on and we're about to meet it at a much bigger junction just to the south.
