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.

Important news: Closed Circuit Television Cameras on the new MS4 signs
Closed Circuit Television Cameras have been mounted on a number of the MS4 signs. These cameras have been installed as part of the evaluation of the pilot, which is scheduled to run until December 2004.
The cameras provide a wide view of the carriageway so that the Highways Agency can see how drivers react to the signs. Images from the cameras will also enable police in their control room to pinpoint where incidents have occurred, enabling them to set the signs more promptly and accurately.
The cameras are in place for evaluation and safety reasons only. They are not speed enforcement cameras, and do not have the technical functionality to be used for recognition of number plates.
