The merging arrangement shown here allows traffic from the direction of Middlesbrough (right-hand lane) to merge with traffic from Marton (left-hand lane) as it joins the A174 Trunk road from the A172. Marton road bridge is just to the right of where this photograph was taken.

The A174(T) road runs from the Stockton area (in the west) towards Redcar (in the east). At peak periods this road carries substantial volumes of traffic pass and towards the village of Marton. This photograph was taken from the bridge at Marton (on the A172 road) looking in an westerly direction towards Stockton-on-Tees.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This picture shows traffic on the exit slip road from the A174(T) waiting to turn right onto the A172 in order to travel towards Marton shops. Traffic using the other lane would turn left in the direction of Middlesbrough. Marton road bridge is just to the left of where this photograph was taken.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The white van shown in this picture is using the slip lane to enter the A174(T) west-bound traffic flow. The blue lorry shown in the right-hand side of the picture has left the A174(T) trunk road and is waiting at the traffic lights in order to turn right into the south-bound flow of traffic towards Marton shops.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The flow splitting arrangement shown here allows traffic from the west-bound carriageway of the A174 trunk road to split into two streams. At the junction, the north-bound flow (in the direction of Middlesbrough) can turn right onto the A172 road while the south-bound flow can merge left into traffic heading for Marton.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The Rudds Arms public house is located in the original village of Marton and is located in a convenient position just to the north of the A174(T) dual carriageway. The hostelry is located 'just across the road' from the Marton Country Club - see here: [[1594673]].

Dist:0.3km<br/>The cottages shown in this picture were located in the centre of the original village of Marton. Indeed, one of the cottages shown here used to be 'Marton Post Office'. The cottages look out onto the Rudds Arms public house (see here - [[1594698]]) which lies just across the road.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The Marton Hotel and Country Club occupies a prominent position at the junction of two busy roads. The A172 (shown here) runs in a 'north-south' direction into and from Middlesbrough; the A174(T) runs in an 'east-west' direction from Stockton-on-Tees towards Redcar. The location of the hotel provides convenient access both to Middlesbrough and the North York Moors.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The high volume of traffic that passes by Captain Cook's School (entrance through the green gates) makes crossing the road a very hazardous affair for school-goers.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This picture shows a van approaching the road junction at Marton interchange. The vehicle is probably going to turn right onto the A172 in the direction of Middlesbrough. The other lane takes traffic into Marton.

Dist:0.4km<br/>At peak periods the traffic on Stokesley Road, Marton can be quite horrendous. Motorists and local residents who have to cope with it often refer to queues like the one shown above as the 'Marton crawl'.
