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.

7. Conclusions and Future Work
This report has listed the objectives of the M1 HOV Pilot scheme, and has considered how to assess the extent to which each of these objectives has been achieved.
Possible methods of assessing the objectives of the scheme have been listed. This list provides options for assessment, which have been used to recommend an assessment strategy to determine the impacts of the M1 HOV scheme on traffic. The strategy also includes an assessment of the operation of the scheme (e.g. the effects of enforcement on compliance with the scheme).
Some of the assessment falls outside the scope of the specification for the Monitoring Consultant, and is expected to be carried out by the Scheme Consultant for the M1 Widening and HOV schemes. This includes determining the publicity strategy for the scheme, optimising the operation of the scheme and establishing the cost/benefits of the scheme.
The options for assessment and the recommended assessment strategy have been reviewed by an independent panel of experts.
The next stage of this work package is to use the assessment strategy described in this document to develop a draft of recommended monitoring requirements for the M1 HOV Pilot scheme. This will include:
- A definition of all data to be collected.
- The locations at which the monitoring will be conducted.
- The periods for which "before" and "after" data are required.
- The target statistical accuracy for each data item.
- The speed with which the results are required.
