"Each time the motorway marker didn't help..........."
I must admit that, when we rang in, our reference to post 139/1 seemed to take a while to sink in; looking back, maybe I could sense a little embarrassment that they knew less than I did about motorway signage. They were more interested in 'what's the next junction?' - which is not very helpful if the sign for the next junction is, say, a mile or more away and you're not familiar with the area.
As an aside, when you are walking along the side of the hard shoulder in the near-dark, the biggest hazard is looping bramble stolons that have grown down from the embankment. They re-root as soon as they can and form trip wires; I crashed down on more than one occasion.
