The motorway ends at Junction 43 of the M1, without its own Junction number. The M1 actually branches off from itself here-the main line of the road is the M621. This junction is also restricted-movements are as follows:

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

M1 Northbound-M1 Eastbound.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

M1 Westbound-M1 Southbound.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

M1 Northbound-M621 Northbound.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

M621 Southbound-M1 Southbound.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The A61/A639 link Junctions 7/8 of the M621 with Junction 44 of the M1, enabling M1 Westbound-M621 Westbound and M621 Eastbound to M1 Eastbound movements to be made.

Originally the M621 from the current Junction 43 of the M1 to Junction 3 of the M621 was the M1. Both roads terminated at the Dewsbury Road interchange and were not linked. The M1/M621 in their present form were created when the M1-A1 Link Road was built, and this was numbered as the M1.
