South Tyneside section

The road begins in the centre of South Shields, near the Town Hall as Westoe Road. This single carriageway road runs to Westoe Bridges where it splits with Southbound traffic continuing on Westoe Road and Northbound traffic using Imeary Street. Southbound traffic then uses Dean Road to bring it to the roundabout with Sunderland Road and Imeary Street. The A1018 then continues on Sunderland Road becoming dual carriageway at its junction with Wood Terrace. The road then continues past the Readhead Park to become King George Road. This continues as dual carriageway as it crosses the A1300 until it reaches the Ridgeway where it becomes Shields Road as single carriageway. The road then extends through Cleadon Village, becoming Sunderland Road at the junction with Cleadon Lane, this remains so until the border with Sunderland.

The two roads, as Dame Dorothy Street, pass St. Peter's Church and head across the Wearmouth Bridge into the centre of Sunderland.
