Motorways · Lane discipline
Approaching a junction. Look well ahead for signals or signs. Direction signs may be placed over the road. If you need to change lanes, do so in good time. At some junctions a lane may lead directly off the motorway. Only get in that lane if you wish to go in the direction indicated on the overhead signs.

The Code reads in order, and each of these names the rule it goes to rather than saying only ‘next’.
