Missing end of motorway Sign

Reported via iOS in the Sign Obscured (NH) category anonymously at 17:22, Friday 26 September 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8219598.

When leaving the A1M to go back into the A1 there is no sign saying end of motorway. Therefore meaning that there is no official end to the motorway. And due to the Blyth bypass have a somewhat hard shoulder this can be still seen as a motorway due to there being no official sign. I do also believe that this is a legal requirement due to motorways and A roads having different regulations.
