Don't Cross or Walk Along Motorways
Don't Cross or Walk Along the Motorway
LIVE OR DIE , YOU CHOOSE
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.
Here is some info that might interest you:
- There are more trespassers on our motorway during Summer time.
- More so at weekends.
- In a 6 month period in 2008 we had in the North West, over 500 incidents involving trespassers.
- There have been 2 people killed on the M61 between 2007-2008. In 2007 alone, there were 8 people killed on our motorways in Area 10.
- Between 2003-2007 there have been 26 people killed on our motorways in Area 10.
