Powered by National Highways’ Transport Data Feeds.
Where the A1 is not a motorway
The A1 runs from London to Edinburgh. Four stretches of it in England are motorway, the A1(M), and have their own news on the latest A1(M) traffic news page. Everywhere else it is the plain A1:
London to South Mimms. From St Paul’s north through Henlys Corner, where it meets the North Circular (A406), Fiveways Corner and Apex Corner, to the M25 at Junction 23.
Stotfold to Alconbury. Past the Black Cat, where the A421 comes in, and St Neots, to Brampton, where the A14 has joined the A1 since the 2020 scheme.
Peterborough to Blyth. Wansford for the A47, Stamford for the A43, Grantham, where the A52 meets it at Barrowby, Newark and Markham Moor.
Skellow to Darrington. The short gap between the Doncaster Bypass and the northern motorway.
Beyond Birtley. The Gateshead and Newcastle Western Bypass, completed in 1993, then Morpeth, Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed.
England only
The A1 crosses into Scotland at Marshall Meadows, north of Berwick, and ends in Edinburgh, at Princes Street by Waverley station. National Highways covers England, so this page stops at the border. For the whole route, stretch by stretch, see the A1 route guide.
Roads that cross the A1
Several of the A1’s junctions are where drivers switch to the M1: the A421 at the Black Cat, the A14 at Brampton, the A43 at Stamford, the A52 at Grantham and the A57 at Apleyhead. The A1(M) and M1 link roads page lists them all. For news on those A-roads themselves, see Traffic News England.
Changes coming
The Black Cat roundabout is being replaced by a three-level junction, due in spring 2027. Reports for works there appear on this page.
Reading the list
Each card gives the place, the direction and what has been reported, with the time it was last updated and, where one is given, the expected end time. Places on the plain A1 are named rather than numbered, because the A1 has no motorway junction numbers. For how busy the road is, see A1 traffic statistics.
A1Mtraffic.co.uk is dedicated to the A1(M) and the A1 in England, from London to the Scottish border. The parallel motorway is covered by M1 Traffic; at Junction 1 the A1(M) meets the orbital, covered by M25 Traffic.A1Mtraffic.co.uk is dedicated to the A1(M) and the A1 in England, from London to the Scottish border.
