A gantry spanning the motorway with blue overhead signs showing the following text.
Forward destinations: London, Wakefield M1; Manchester, Hull (M62).
Exit destinations: A639 (M621) Leeds (South).
Junction number: 44.
This junction is signposted for the south of Leeds, but the presence of "M621" on the sign gives away the fact that it's also a heavily-used shortcut for traffic in this direction aiming for the centre of Leeds via the motorway. To get between the two you have to borrow a short length of A-road and make your way around a few roundabouts, joining the M621 at Stourton.
