Motorway cantilever sign
A blue overhead sign suspended over the motorway from a post on the left, showing an upcoming exit and the following text.
Exit destinations: A534 Congleton, Sandbach.
Forward destinations: Birmingham, Stafford; Stoke - on - Trent M6 .
Junction number: 17.
You can also take a fairly direct route from here to Crewe, if railways are your thing.
Actually, come to think of it, you can do that whether or not railways are your thing. The A534 doesn't mind.
