Smart Motorway gantry sign

A gantry structure spanning the motorway with electronic signals, blue signs showing a "tiger tail lane drop" where the left lane exits, the right hand two lanes continue ahead and the second lane from the left can go in either direction, and the following text.

Exit destinations: A308(M) [Hollow circle diversion symbol] Maidenhead; A404(M) [Solid circle diversion symbol] High Wycombe.

Forward destinations: London, Slough M4.

Junction number: 8/9.
