A601/Junctions
The junctions of the Derby Inner Ring Road are, unusually for an all-purpose road, numbered. They were given numbers in around 2010 as part of the Connecting Derby project, and these numbers first appeared on advance direction signs for junctions on the sections of the ring road built for the Connecting Derby project. Later, during 2011, matching junction numbers for junctions on the rest of the ring road (as well as the Pentagon Island) were included on pedestrian wayfinding maps on signs around the city centre.
Oddly, it seems two junctions on the inner ring road are not numbered. These are the junctions with Mansfield Road and Derwent Street - both of these are small, relatively unimportant junctions; however similar junctions (such as the Nottingham Road slip roads at Eastgate) are numbered.
