M4 Junctions 19 to 20 and M5 Junctions 15 to 17 Managed Motorway Statutory Instrument Consultation
Published: 30 September 2011
Close date: 23 December 2011
This consultation will provide an opportunity for interested parties and individuals to comment on the proposal to introduce variable mandatory speed limits and hard shoulder running on the M4 motorway between Junctions 19 and 20 and the M5 motorway between Junctions 15 to 17 ("the Managed Motorway scheme").
Scope of this consultation
We are keen to have your comments on the proposal to introduce variable mandatory speed limits, hard shoulder running and other Managed Motorways measures on the M4 motorway between Junctions 19 and 20 & the M5 motorway between Junctions 15 and 17, specifically on how it could affect your organisation or those you represent.
Junction 15 of the M5 and Junction 20 of the M4 is a motorway-to-motorway interchange, known locally as the Almondsbury Interchange.
The "Managed Motorway scheme" will include the motorway, the on-slip and the off-slip roads between Junctions 19 and 20 of the M4 motorway and Junctions 15 to 17 of the M5 motorway on both carriageways.
