Motorway signs
Junction ahead with another motorway
What it means
A plain distance warning that the M25 and M26 part company two miles ahead. Motorway junctions arrive faster than they read on the sign and the lanes can divide. Use the two miles: decide which road you want, then move over gradually rather than in one late lunge.
Highway Code Rule 266 — read it on GOV.UK
