“back of the diverge nose” means the shortest side of the diverge nose;
“circulatory interchange” means, at junction 18 of the M62, the gyratory known as Simister Island and, at junction 20 of the M62, the gyratory known as Thornham Interchange;
“diverge nose” means a paved area approximately triangular in shape between a motorway and a linking carriageway or a slip road and which is marked with road markings of a type shown in diagram 1042 in Part 6 of Schedule 9 to the 2016 Regulations and Directions;
“linking carriageway” means a carriageway (or a specified length of carriageway) linking one motorway to another;

(e)at junction 13 of the M60—
(i)the on-slip road connecting from the A572 and A575 to the north-eastbound carriageway of the M60 and the off-slip road connecting from that carriageway to those roads; and
(ii)the on-slip road connecting from the A572 and B5211 to the southbound carriageway of the M60 and the off-slip road connecting from that carriageway to those roads;
(f)at junction 14 of the M60, the on-slip road connecting from the A580 to the north-eastbound carriageway of the M60;
(g)at junction 15 of the M60, the carriageway of the off-slip road connecting to the westbound carriageway of the A580 from the south-westbound carriageway of the M60 beginning at the diverge and ending at a point 230 metres from the back of the diverge nose in the direction of travel;
(h)at junction 16 of the M60, the on-slip road connecting from the A666 to the north- eastbound carriageway of the M60 and the off-slip road connecting to the A666 from the south-westbound carriageway of the M60;
(i)at junction 17 of the M60, the on-slip roads connecting from, and the off-slip roads connecting to, the A56;
(j)between junctions 18 and 19 of the M62, the on-slip roads connecting from, and the off-slip roads connecting to, the Birch Services motorway service area; and
