Motorway cantilever sign
A blue overhead sign suspended over the motorway from a post on the left, with a diagonal arrow pointing up and left, and the following text.
A5 Hinckley; [Solid cross diversion symbol] [Hollow circle diversion symbol] [Solid circle diversion symbol]; (A428) Rugby; Rail Freight; Terminal .
Junction number: 18.
This is the original northern end of the M1, though it only remained so for a few years. Now it's home to an enormous array of cargo handling facilities and a major rail freight terminal. One of the few things that remains unchanged is the A5 passing through on the line of a Roman Road.
