The Project

On the M62 westbound at Junction 10, 'tigers tail' chevron road markings have been provided at the link road to the M6 southbound. This will reduce the potential for accidents caused by weaving traffic and help to ease congestion and improve traffic flow.

In addition, the westbound merge has been realigned with revised signing, resurfacing and safety fencing. The key benefits of the scheme are improved journey times through the junction during busy peak times, and improved safety through the reduction of shunt accidents caused by queuing.

Highways Agency Project Manager Paul Elliott:

"Junction 10 is extremely busy during peak periods and road Safety is our top priority. These improvements will make this junction safer by reducing the potential for accidents and relieving congestion. The 'tiger's tail' chevrons will reduce the danger caused by drivers realising they are in the wrong lane and, at the last minute, weaving across traffic."

Work began in March and the new layout was fully operational during April 2006
