Roestock is junction 2 of the A1(M). This was a full trumpet until the extension of the A1(M) to the north as part of the Hatfield Tunnel scheme in 1986, when a large interchange with the North Orbital Road at Roehyde was created, which now caters for northbound movements that this junction previously served. A trumpet junction first appears at this location on the OS 1970 one inch map, having been absent on the earlier 1968 version, coinciding with the construction of the South Way bypass for South Hatfield. In 1979, the A1 south of this point was upgraded to motorway, and to the north in 1986.


For many years there was a farm access, resulting in two way traffic along the northbound exit sliproad, however, in 2017/18 temporary metal barriers were put in place to prevent access. This was to prevent HGVs using the sliproad for overnight parking and also vehicles heading down the sliproad only to find the farm access gate was closed and that they had nowhere to go, other than turning in the road in front of traffic exiting the motorway at high speed. These barriers were later converted to heavy concrete barriers.
