About the scheme

M42 Jct 3a - Jct 7 Active Traffic Management

Background

In July 2001, John Spellar, the former Minister for Transport, announced that Active Traffic Management would be piloted on a section of the M42 corridor between junction 3A and 7, to the south-east of Birmingham. The Active Traffic Management pilot is expected to be fully operational by late 2006, following a phased implementation, which began in Winter 2004.

Active Traffic Management will contribute towards:

  • Reliable journeys
  • Reduced congestion
  • Enhanced information to drivers
  • Quicker response times to incidents

The Active Traffic Management pilot has been developed in close consultation with the Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG), and this partnership continues in the delivery of the pilot.
