A recreation of the iconic Hollywood sign, which nestles in the Californian hills, has appeared on a grass verge by the side of the M60 - in Hollinwood.
No-one has yet claimed responsibility for the sign, which at 3ft (0.9m) high is dwarfed by its famous cousin.
An Oldham Council spokesman said it was "definitely not a council initiative".
The sign, 4.5 miles (7.2km) away from Manchester, appeared on Monday by the side of the eastbound carriageway of the motorway between junctions 21 and 22.
News of its appearance is spreading and local ward councillor Keith Pendlebury was set to visit the new attraction on Tuesday.
But he admitted he was also in the dark about the origin of the wooden lettering.
"There was a scheme proposed to put an iconic piece of art at the Hollinwood roundabout - but I don't think this is it," he told BBC News.
