There is no junction 3 on the M1 because the motorway's original design did not include it. When the M1 was constructed, junctions were built based on expected traffic needs and patterns, and the area around where junction 3 would be located did not have significant demand at that time. Additionally, the numbering system for junctions was established to avoid confusion, and leaving out junction 3 helped maintain a logical sequence.
