Cross in Hand is a small roundabout junction on the A5 near Lutterworth, forming an access both to the town and the large Magna Park industrial area.

Whilst the roundabout itself is relatively unremarkable, it is mildly interesting for showing up how historic county boundaries and Highway Authority boundaries often differ slightly in unexpected ways. The boundary between Leicestershire and Warwickshire is along the centre of the A5 Watling Street, whereas the local authority boundary is parallel to the centreline, but offset to the southwestern side of the road. This means that this roundabout is half in each county, but entirely within Leicestershire Council's domain; though as it is a Trunk road at this point and managed by National Highways, it makes no material difference as far as the road is concerned.
