Motorway services sign

A blue sign for a motorway service area, showing Stafford services half a mile ahead.

Services operator: RoadCook.

Franchises listed: S.O., E. Donald's, Coast Drive Thru, GridPower, M.R. Smith, Hotel (generic).

Stafford services date from the 1990s, and the two sides are offset from each other, so there's no bridge or tunnel linking them, nor is there a restaurant suspended above the motorway. You can't even stand in one car park and wave at people in the other.
