A gantry spanning the motorway with blue overhead signs showing the following text.
Forward destinations: The LAKES, Lancaster; Blackpool (M55) M6 .
Exit destinations: B6242 Preston (E), Longridge.

A late addition to the motorway, this junction serves housing estates and industrial areas east of Preston. It also serves the town of Grimsargh, which sounds best in a pirate accent.
