A1(M) Overhead Signs

Listed here, one by one, are messages from the signs National Highways publishes for the A1(M), which is not every sign on the road.

34 overhead message signs on the A1(M) are showing right now.

Checked 04:47 (4:47am) Tue 10 Nov 2026 Each message shows when National Highways last set it, and how long ago.

Two kinds of traffic information. This page shows what the overhead message signs on the A1(M) are displaying. Our latest traffic news shows National Highways’ incident and roadworks reports. Each can carry something the other does not, so we show both and label which is which - check both before you travel.

    • Source: National Highways’ overhead message signs, as at 04:47 (4:47am) Tue 10 Nov 2026. This page shows the messages on the A1(M). Powered by National Highways’ Transport Data Feeds.

    What the signs are for

    Message signs warn A1(M) drivers of what is coming: a closed lane, queues beyond the next junction, a closure booked for tonight, or a general safety reminder. Looking through them before a long A1(M) trip can warn you of trouble on the section you are heading for.

    Common messages

    Signs before a decision point

    A sign matters most where you can still change route. On the A1(M) those places are:

    Past Junctions 10, 17 and 38 you continue on the plain A1, which is covered by A1 traffic news.

    Reading this list

    Each entry gives the sign’s position, its wording and the time it was set. A message can change within minutes, so read the list as a snapshot from its last refresh. Limits shown on the signs are on A1(M) speed limits now; the reports behind the messages are on the latest A1(M) traffic news.

    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.
