Motorway fork sign
A blue sign with a diagram showing a branch off the road ahead and the following text.
Forward destinations: SCOTLAND; Carlisle.
Exit destinations: Penrith; Workington; Brough; A66 [Solid triangle diversion symbol].
Junction number: 40.
The A66 is the last great east-west route across England, with plans to finally complete the dual carriageway between A1 and M6 approved after many decades of waiting. A lot of traffic will join us here for the journey to Scotland.
