The Project

A Route Management Strategy (RMS) is a new method of planning our roads for the future. It looks at the whole picture by assessing the use and needs of a particular route with the intention of making better use by:

  • Spending available money more effectively
  • Making road planning tie in better with regional transport and planning decisions
  • Allowing all users of the route to have their say. Local people often know more about local problems and what the solutions might be.

The routes being studied under the Midland Motorway Box Route Management Strategy are:

  • M6 Junction 11a (M6 Toll) to Junction 4
  • M5 Junction 5 to M6
  • M42 Junction 9 to M5
