Motorway gantry sign
A gantry spanning the motorway with blue overhead signs showing the following text.
Forward destinations: London, Wakefield M1; Manchester, Hull (M62).
Exit destinations: A63 Leeds (Cen).
Junction number: 45.
For many years after this section of motorway opened, this junction was closed, with no roads connecting to it. Eventually the new A63 opened, which now provides the most direct way into the middle of Leeds for traffic from the north.
