Motorway signs
Motorway junction ahead, displaying the route number and destination reached by taking this route
What it means
Your half-mile warning: junction 25 is coming up and its slip road leads to the A52 for Nottingham. Motorways sign the exit a mile ahead and again at half a mile. If that is your exit, start moving left now rather than leaving it until the slip road appears.
