    The A1(M), junction by junction

    Washington services sits between Junctions 64 and 65 and serves both directions.

    Why the numbers jump

    The A1(M) is four motorway sections of the A1. Where the road is ordinary A1, the junctions are not part of the motorway list, so there are no A1(M) Junctions 11 to 13, 18 to 33 or 39. The Wikipedia junction table used for this page also has no Junctions 54 or 55: after Scotch Corner at Junction 53 the next is Junction 56 at Barton.

    Junctions worth knowing

    Part junctions

    Several junctions do not allow every movement. Junctions 2, 5, 38, 40, 43 and 57 are part junctions: Junction 5 has no slips southbound and only an entry slip northbound, Junction 38 has an exit northbound only, where the motorway ends, and Junction 43 can only be used to leave southbound or join northbound. Check the direction before relying on one.

    Which section page to use

    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.
