Motorway gantry sign
A gantry spanning the motorway with blue overhead signs showing the following text.
Forward destinations: The NORTH, Leeds (East) M1.
Exit destinations: A639 Leeds (S) [Hollow circle diversion symbol] [Solid square diversion symbol].
Junction number: 44.
This final section of the M1 opened in 1999. Previously the motorway had run directly into the centre of Leeds, a route now followed by the M621. This new bit was created to bypass the city to the east and connect with the A1.
