What the sources said

• Stationary traffic
• M62 eastbound between J11 and J12
• Overhead signs read “REPORT OF CYCLIST” (1 sign; furthest along: link road from M60 J12 anti-clockwise to M62 J12 westbound).
• Overhead signs read “M62 J11-J12 LANES CLOSED STRANDED VEHICLE” (1 sign; e.g. M62 eastbound between J9 and J10). Marker placed near M62 J11–J12 using the signs there, so it is approximate.
