Direction to a motorway at the junction shown, indicating route number
A blue rectangle showing the route number (M1, M6, etc.) and an arrow. Directs you to the start of the motorway from a non-motorway road. Get into the correct lane well before the junction; once you commit to the slip road there's usually no easy way back.
