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.

Attitudes to driving in winter weather
Introduction
Driving in severe winter weather can be treacherous, especially if drivers fail to take account of reduced visibility, longer stopping distances, and the possibility of delays en-route.
The Highways Agency is working to improve its response to severe winter weather. MVA Consultancy was commissioned by the Highways Agency to undertake qualitative and quantitative research during the 2004-05, 2005-06, and 2006-07 winter seasons to gain an in-depth understanding of people's perceptions of driving in severe winter weather.
A total of 1288 individuals completed the winter weather survey in 2006/07, which was weighted to reflect census data for England.
