	A6144(M) motorway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The A6144(M) was a motorway in Carrington, Greater Manchester, England.
		Also relatively rare was that the motorway was not a trunk road and was therefore not the responsibility of the Highways Agency.
		One of the main reasons for it needing to have motorway status, was that the junction with the M60 used to have two small roundabouts.

		Motorways may also be regarded as highways designed to carry a large volume of traffic where a normal road would not suffice or would be unsafe, usually between cities.
		The most basic motorway junction is a two-lane flyover with four slip-roads, two on each side of the motorway to exit or enter.
		Motorways are also commonly used for ring roads around cities or bypasses of built-up areas.

	M60 motorway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The M60 was developed by connecting and consolidating the existing motorway sections of the M63, M62, and an extended M66.
		As an orbital motorway, it is equivalent to London's M25 motorway, however, unlike its London counterpart, the M60 is a complete circle (the stretch over the Thames at Dartford is not a motorway, but the A282).
		Between junctions 6 and 8, the motorway is being widened from two to three lanes in each direction, plus an additional two-lane collector/distributor road on either side of the main carriageways.

		Motorways are highways designed to carry a large volume of traffic where a normal road would not suffice or would be unsafe, usually between cities.
		In the UK it is a requirement that all motorways have emergency telephone telephones at regular (usually one-mile) intervals, which connect directly to the police.
		As a result, the motorway technically begins as soon as the escape route has diverged from it; for example at a grade-separated junction, the motorway starts at the junction with the exiting slip road, and the opposite slip road is also part of the motorway for this and the following reason.

	M25 motorway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is an orbital motorway, 117 miles (188 km) in circumference, that encircles London.
		The motorway was widened to ten lanes between junctions 12 and 14, and twelve lanes between junctions 14 and 15, in November 2005.
		While this is more a structural than a logical issue, at junction 5 near Sevenoaks continuing around the M25 requires the driver to follow the slip roads, as the main routes continue as either the M26 to the east (on to the M20) or the A21 towards the south coast.

		As it was under motorway regulations, stopping was prohibited except in emergencies, and a 70 mph speed limit applied, giving a rare opportunity to drive legally at 70 mph on a single-carriageway road.
		It was given motorway status because it only led to a motorway junction, and so could not be used by traffic barred from motorways, although it was possible to reach the A56 at Stretford along slip roads without joining the main M60.
		As part of the major scheme to widen the M60 between Junctions 5 and 8, involving the construction of collector/distributor roads alongside the main carriageway, Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council have downgraded the A6144(M) to the status of an all-purpose road and numbered it as a spur of the A6144.

		The motorway was built around the city centre in three stages in the 1960s and 1970s.
		Some motorways do not have hard shoulders at all (for example the A6144(M) and the A57(M)) and there are a small number of dual carriageway A-roads which do posess hard shoulders (for example, parts of the A1, A2 and A27).

		Motorways must be accessed at junctions by slip roads off the sides of the main carriageway;
		The exception was the A1(M) near Leeds, which was "illegal", as pedestrians could legally cross 300 yards from the start, but cyclists and other types of traffic not permitted on motorways had no way of turning back.

		It is rare among motorways in that it is entirely single carrigeway, a trait only shared with the A38(M).
		The motorway also has no hard shoulder and just a couple of emergency lay-bys with SOS phones; many say this means it does not deserve motorway status.
