As a further example, Scotch Corner in northern England is not even a village—merely a hotel and a few other buildings—yet has the status of a primary destination due to its location at the interchange of the A1 and A66 roads. For similar reasons, certain airports, sea ports, bridges and tunnels have been designated as primary destinations. The status of both primary destinations and roads is maintained by the Department for Transport in combination with the Highways Agency in England"

Heading due north the road passes Whitefield and cuts through Bury before crossing the M66 motorway at Junction 1.
