M62 - Your Local History
A lot of finds were uncovered during the archaeological evaluation carried out for the M62 Junction 6 Improvement scheme so we thought it would be nice to provide an interactive website so you can see what we found.

Don't Cross or Walk Along Motorways
The Highways Agency aims to make more people aware of the dangers of walking or crossing our motorway. We have launched a poster and radio campaign aimed at 16-25yr olds. Hopefully with our hard hitting posters, our message will come across.

Roadworkers' Safety Report Phase Two
Introduction and Methodology
The Highways Agency is interested in knowing why drivers speed at roadworks and what initiatives could be put in place to improve safety at roadworks.
MVA therefore conducted an attitudinal survey with higher risk drivers (those who have attended a driver improvement or speed awareness course in order to avoid penalty points on their licence) and those whose work is to bring about that improvement ("improvement professionals").
This quantitative research was informed by qualitative telephone interviews with higher risk drivers and improvement professionals and desk research. This report was conducted in 2006.
The full report is available for download in PDF format.
