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.

Managed Motorways Monitoring/Evaluation of Through Junction Running (TJR)

Project Details

Project Background

Managed Motorway schemes aim to address congestion issues and improve Journey Time Reliabilty by utilising a set of advanced intelligent transport systems applications to make as much use of the available road capacity as possible. The M42 Managed Motorway has been monitored and evaluated throughout its trial and varying operational regimes which has enabled informed decisions on the rollout of other Managed Motorway schemes. This trend will continue with the evaluation of the new operating regime of Through Junction running and the 3 year validated safety report which are due to be published in March 2011

Project Objectives

M42 - Through Junction Running (Jct 5, sthbound) Evaluation, a report to be published in March 2011.
M42 - 3Year Validated Safety Report, a report to be published in March 2011.

Project Summary

Data collection and analysis of Through Junction Running and accident data on the M42 carried out under the previous task (510203) will be published under 2 separate reports due in March 2011. These reports will give a good indication of how Through Junction Running has performed and also demonstrate safety benefits on the M42 Managed Motorway.
