There had been plans before the Second World War for a motorway network in the United Kingdom. Lord Montagu of Beaulieu formed a company to build a 'motorway-like road' from London to Birmingham in 1923, [4] but it was a further 26 years before the Special Roads Act 1949 was passed, which allowed for the construction of roads limited to specific vehicle classifications, and in the 1950s, the ...
A 120 km/h (75 mph) speed limit applies on most of the M1, the exception being a 100 km/h (62 mph) limit between Junction 1 and Junction 2 at Dublin Airport. The lower speed limit is credited to the much higher volumes of traffic on this stretch. Fingal County Council raised the limit on this section to 100 km/h (62 mph) in June 2022.
Work was also carried out on the A4 which begins at the terminus of the M1 between Dungannon and Ballygawley (approximately 12.5 miles (20.1 km)) was upgraded to dual carriageway standard, [7] opening in November 2010. In 2011 the government announced plans for two service areas in each direction between junction 3 and junction 6 near Ballyskeagh.

The M1/A1 link road between Leeds (now junction 43 of the M1) and the A1(M) at Hook Moor, opened in February 1999. [1] Although the slip roads were built in 1999, it was ten years before junction 45 was opened to lead along a 2.5-mile (4 km) dual carriageway (designated the A63) westwards into Leeds. [2]
The section of M1 it is on opened in November 1959. When opened, it was the first service area on the journey north from London on the M1, and the UK's largest. It was the UK's eighth motorway service station, and the M1's third service area; the M1 had the UK's first two motorway service areas.
