The DfT have decided after careful consideration that an HOV lane is not appropriate on the 6a to 10 section of the M1 and all work to implement HOV on this motorway widening scheme has been stopped. With this announcement from the Secretary of State came the publication of a feasibility study into advanced motorway signalling and traffic management -which can be found on Department for Transport website via the following link:
http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roads/network/policy/mtorsigntrafmanagement/
The study report contains more information on the M1 HOV lane (paragraphs 7.35 to 7.36, and the wider experience and opportunites from HOV lanes in paragraphs 7.24 to 7.38).
