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.

Driver Location Signs
Driver Location Signs
What is a driver location sign?
A sign by the side of a motorway or all-purpose trunk road that tells you:
 |
The motorway route number or A road route number that you are travelling on. |
| This letter tells the emergency services or the Highways Agency which direction you are travelling in. | |
| The distance in kilometres from the start of the motorway. |
What do I use the sign for?
If you witness an incident such as a road traffic collision or debris on the road, tell the emergency services or Highways Agency what is written on the nearest sign to you (remember, it is illegal to use a mobile phone when driving, use a hands free kit, or ask a passenger to use a mobile). This will help the emergency services to get to the correct location quickly.
To Report:
- Road Traffic Incidents / Collisions - dial 999 or 112
- Debris - call Highways Agency Information Line 08457 50 40 30
