Cantilevered advance sign for Junction 29A on M1

One of the signs which have been introduced to replace the flat plate design in use since the first UK motorways. They are in the line of sight of drivers, rather than on the verge, and are less likely to be hidden behind vehicles in the inner lanes

Cantilevered sign and footbridge on M1 near Junction 29A

There is a network of footpaths on either side of the M1 in this gridsquare, with two footbridges over the motorway and one tunnel for walkers and farm traffic. The sign is of the newer style, designed to be easier to see and less likely to be concealed by other vehicles

M1, southbound

The M1 is a north–south motorway connecting London to Leeds, where it joins the A1(M) near Aberford. It was the first motorway to be completed in the United Kingdom. The motorway is 193 miles long and was constructed in four phases. Most of the motorway was opened between 1959 and 1968 but the southern end was extended in 1977 and the northern end was extended in 1999.
