M8, Easterhouse
Overhead sign gantry and 200 metre "countdown" marker for junction 9 on the M8 at Easterhouse.
Note the typical “Glasgow-type” sign gantry with the following distinctive elements:
• Near and offside support legs (basically 2 rectangular hollow sections with base plates to allow connections to the foundations)
• A Main Frame (made up of rectangular hollow sections) - Over clad on the front and rear.
• A Sub Frame (made up of smaller hollow sections and welded to main frame).
• A Sign Face - acrylic sheets hung from the front of the sub frame over its full height.
• Internal Electrics - sign lighting provided through the use of several dozen fluorescent battens.
Gantries of this type were erected as part of the construction of the Kingston Bridge and its approach roads in 1970 and they are now a familiar sight on the network around Glasgow.

Sign Not In Use sign
One of several such signs by the east bound M8 motorway near Easterhouse in the east end of Glasgow. Presumably the sign refers to the new motorway gantry signs which do not yet appear to be active.
