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.

Regional Control Centres
We have Regional Control Centres in each region of England. These are operated jointly by the Highways Agency and the Police and our officers based in them are responsible for planning for roadworks, monitoring road conditions (through CCTV and monitoring loops) and allocating traffic officers to incidents, establishing diversion alternatives and setting regional electronic roadsigns.
Our National Traffic Control Centre collates information from all seven Regional Control Centres (see map below) to provide information to travellers via strategic electronic road signs, telephone information lines, internet and traffic news media.
