Maximum and minimum speed limits are indicated after each on-ramp. The sign behind them informs drivers of the rumble strip on the white line between the hard shoulder and the carriageway.

I don't like the route confirmation sign -- what's the bets that countless UK road atlases will call this stretch the 'M8 (toll)'? I think they would have been better to use a standard motorway route confirmation sign, and place 'Toll' on a separate plate below.

Heading south, shortly after the improved section starts, we get a route confirmatory/distance sign, and those speed limit signs in the distance show a 120 km/h limit -- on of the first (if not the first) use of 120 km/h on a non-motorway. Note the very narrow central reservation. Apologies for the blur, but the light was fading fast.

The speed limit signs and change in hard shoulder are the only giveaway. Not a single 'Welcome to...' sign visible.
