Leeds has motorway links to the M1, M62 and A1(M). The M621 is a loop of motorway that takes traffic into central Leeds between the M1 and the M62, and its junction 7 serves Stourton on the A639. M1 junction 43 connects to the M621, junction 44 serves south Leeds by the A639, junction 45 gives access to the A63 towards the city centre and to Skelton Lake services, junction 46 is the Thorpe Park roundabout where the A63 continues east, and junction 47 meets the A642 for Garforth and the A656 for Castleford.
South of Leeds the M62 has junction 27 at Gildersome, where the M621 starts, junction 28 at Tingley and junction 29, the M1 interchange at Lofthouse. On the A1(M), National Highways names junction 43 as Hook Moor and junction 44 as Bramham. The A64 links Leeds, York and Scarborough, and the A63 starts just east of the city centre at a junction with the A61.
Freight clusters in south-east Leeds. Stourton is a mainly industrial area about two miles south-east of the city centre, between Hunslet, the M1 and Cross Green. Freightliner’s Leeds terminal is at Valley Farm Road in Stourton, reached by rail and road. GOV.UK records that Leeds City Council decided not to introduce a clean air zone, so Leeds is not in its table of zones.
