Smart Motorway gantry sign
A gantry structure spanning the motorway with electronic signals, blue signs showing the left lane exiting and three others continuing ahead, and the following text.
Exit destinations: A616 ; Manchester.
Forward destinations: The NORTH, Leeds, Barnsley M1.
Junction number: 35A.
At one time there was meant to be a motorway from Sheffield to Manchester, the M67. The signs here might suggest an equally major road that will take you there, but if you exit here you're in for a largely single-carriageway road across the hills to the outskirts of Manchester instead. The views are nice, though.
