A blue overhead sign suspended over the motorway from a post on the left, showing an upcoming exit and the following text.
Exit destinations: A34 ; Stone; Stafford (N).
Forward destinations: The NORTH WEST; Stoke-on-Trent M6 .
Junction number: 14.
The A34 has come a long way to get here - it starts near Winchester - but through Staffordshire it's the road the M6 replaced, forming the old main road between Birmingham and Manchester.
