This - Beaumont Road in Bolton (A58) - was originally S4, and each junction was uncontrolled. Now it's D2, with lane drops at junctions, and signals for every junction.

A58 Moss Bank Way, Bolton. It's D2 here, but the next bit isn't as lucky.

Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Apr 24, 2005 by Bryn666Junction of A6054 in Bolton, complete with roadsign. Corner of of Deansgate (foreground) and Marsden Road (right). Helpfully dated to Sept 1937 in the photo archive of Bolton Museum's 'Worktown, Mass Observation of everyday life' project – http://boltonworktown.co.uk/photograph/street-scene-5.
Bolton Arch, Newport Street The outline of the town hall is just visible through the mist and gloom, looking through the arch on Newport Street.
The steel parabolic arch, which acts as a gateway to the town centre for those arriving at the nearby Trinity Street Railway Station, is actually the support for the railway bridge. The old bridge was closed in 2001 as it was judged to be too weak to carrying the amount of traffic using it. The new bridge opened in 2005.

M61 (A666(M)) has tunnels here - this is due to skew of the slips to the A580 (actually the M61 mainline!) passing overhead.

Merging with the A666(M) - notice the sign shows one lane merging, yet the road has two...

The excitingly dull M61 is about to get interesting...
