Motorway signs
Direction to a motorway at the junction shown, indicating route number
What it means
Blue means motorway. The arrow tells you the M68 is straight ahead, and the number in the black box is the junction number, so you can match it against your route. You will see these on the roads that feed a motorway. Read it early and pick your lane in good time.
