Area 13
Where is Area 13 and who looks after it?
Area 13 comprises the motorways and trunk roads in Cumbria and north Lancashire.
Since July 2010 we have employed a Managing Agent Contractor, EnterpriseMouchel, to maintain and carry out minor improvements to the road network in Area 13 on our behalf. The area also covers part of the privately financed A69 trunk road from Carlisle to Newcastle, though this is managed separately by Road Link Ltd.
A list of Area 13 road projects is available so you can view which projects are planned, current and complete.
Area Road User Satisfaction Survey (ARUSS)
ARUSS is an at home survey of road users and neighbours of our network. It is a continuous rolling programme of surveys with 66 interviews per month in each area to achieve 393 interviews over 6 months in each of our 14 management areas. It measures road users' attitudes on area level issues; identifying what the area team needs to do to improve its services to customers. It includes questions on safety, conditions of the road (for example road noise), litter, signing congestion and roadworks.
