“northern point” means the northern edge of the northern bridge of the circulatory interchange over the M1 at junction 25;

“nose” means a paved area approximately triangular in shape between a motorway and a linking carriageway or a slip road and which is marked with road markings of a type shown in diagram 1042 in Part 6 of Schedule 9 to the 2016 Regulations and Directions;

“off-slip road” means a slip road intended for the use of traffic exiting the M1;

“on-slip road” means a slip road intended for the use of traffic entering the M1;

“slip road” means a road which connects the M1 with a circulatory interchange;

“southern A42 bridge” means the bridge carrying the southbound carriageway of the A42 over the M1 from north-east to south-west in the direction of traffic; and

“tip of the nose” means the point at the most acute angle of a nose.

4.  The roads to which this paragraph refers are—

(a) at junction 24—

(i) the carriageway of the off-slip road connecting from the northbound carriageway of the M1 to the circulatory interchange beginning at the diverge from the northbound carriageway and ending at a point 261 metres north of the tip of the nose at the diverge;

(ii) the carriageway of the on-slip road connecting from the circulatory interchange to the northbound carriageway of the M1 beginning at a point 248 metres south of the tip of the nose at the merge with the northbound carriageway and ending at the merge; and

(iii) the carriageway of the on-slip road connecting from the circulatory interchange to the southbound carriageway of the M1 beginning at a point 253 metres north of the tip of the nose at the merge with the southbound carriageway and ending at the merge; and

(b) at junction 25—

(i) the carriageway of the off-slip road connecting from the northbound carriageway of the M1 to the circulatory interchange beginning at the diverge from the northbound carriageway and ending at a point 373 metres north of the tip of the nose at the diverge; and

(ii) the carriageway of the on-slip road connecting from the circulatory interchange to the southbound carriageway of the M1 beginning at a point 342 metres north of the tip of the nose at the merge with the southbound carriageway and ending at the merge.

5.  The linking carriageways to which this paragraph refers are—

(a) at junction 23A—

(ii) the carriageway from the southbound carriageway of the M1 to the southbound carriageway of the A42 beginning at the diverge from the southbound carriageway of the M1 and ending at a point 360 metres south of the tip of the nose at the diverge; and

(b) at junction 24A—

(i) the carriageway from the eastbound carriageway of the A50 to the northbound carriageway of the M1 beginning at a point 203 metres south of the tip of the nose at the merge with the northbound carriageway and ending at the merge; and
