A gantry structure spanning the motorway with electronic signals, blue signs showing an exit and the following text.
Exit destinations: A414 Hemel Hempstead; St Albans, Hatfield .
Forward destinations: (M25) London, Watford M1.
Junction number: 7 & 8.
The early 2000s widening project that upgraded the M1 between junctions 6A and 10 also gave us this junction complex. What had been two separate interchanges is now a single exit from the motorway with link roads between them, which is why the sign says this is junction "7 & 8".
