The A635 from Ashton under Lyne to Manchester via Openshaw near the entrance to the New Smithfield Market which is on the left. Market traffic from Manchester has to turn left after Compass Street on to South Street Image in order to then cross Ashton Old Road at these traffic lights. This avoids queues on the A635 where there is now no right turn, hence the box junction markings on the right.
