	Encyclopedia: M6 motorway
		The M6 motorway is the longest motorway in England.
		It is often claimed to be the busiest motorway in the country, although the M25 may also lay claim to this dubious distinction, depending on the measurement used.
		The first section of the motorway, and indeed the first motorway in the country, the Preston by-pass, was opened by the then Prime Minister Harold Macmillan on December 5, 1958.

	M40 motorway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The M40 motorway is the second motorway in the British transport network to connect London to Birmingham.
		The first part of the motorway was built in the 1960s and connected London to the A40 at Stokenchurch at the top of the Chiltern scarp, some miles west of High Wycombe.
		The fact that the M40 led from London to Oxford and the M11 from London to Cambridge led to a famous sketch in one episode of the BBC's sitcom Yes, Minister.

	CBRD - Motorway Database - M42/A42
		The M42 is there to connect the east and west Midlands (and therefore traffic going longer distances between the north east and south west) without the hassle of the A38, which was the previous route and which dumped all through traffic into the heart of Birmingham.
		In the 1970's a short section of motorway was built as a spur south from the M6 to the east of Birmingham, mainly to serve the NEC, and it was called M42, probably so it wasn't tied to any existing A-road.
		Construction was started to extend the road, and the M42 today begins at the M5, running across the south of Birmingham to hit the even more recent M40, then turns north to skirt the east side of Brum, taking in its original section and then crossing the M6 and heading on to Tamworth.

		International traffic experts have been descending on a Portakabin village by the side of the M42 in Solihull to visit what is probably the smartest piece of motorway in the world.
		With costs for widening a motorway by one lane running at around £30m per km, and the consequent environmental and economic impacts of increased land use and disruption, the agency hopes this £6m/km pilot scheme will produce the tools to stop the entire system from grinding to a halt.
		Motorways were built to facilitate through traffic making strategic long-distance journeys, but our automatic numberplate recognition (ANPR) cameras on every junction slip road are showing us that many drivers are local commuters.

		An interim decision on the Catherine de Barnes proposal is also necessary due to the auxiliary motorway lanes between the MSA and Junction 6 which are an essential part of the scheme.

	Customised enclosures put to work on the M42: News from Fibox
		Active Traffic Management is a new UK Highways Agency pilot project on the M42 motorway between junction 3a and 7, to the south-east of Birmingham.
		Helping monitor situations as they arise on the motorway will be a range of different types of CCTV cameras, some of which will be mounted on new gantries set apart at distances of 500m.
		Although the enclosures are housed in an outer steel cabinet this does not fully protect the EK enclosures, and they can still be subjected to a wide range of operating temperatures, but due to the insulating properties of polycarbonate the EK enclosures are not affected by heat, cold or humidity.

		The threat of a Motorway Service Area at Junction 4 is back and the Dorridge and District Residents Association is encouraging B93 residents to get involved and join the fight by writing to Solihull Council with their objections.
		Despite vigorous support for the refusals by local groups and individuals the Inspector regretably decided one should be allowed and accordingly the Secretary of State advised that he was "minded to approve" an MSA at Catherine-de-Barnes subject to conditions This "minded to approve" still holds good at the present time.
		MSAs are designed into the motorway network and the Highways Agency will not signpost to divert motorway traffic onto the trunk road system to nearby commercial establishments to gain access their facilities.

		This has the potential to increase substantially the capacity of the motorway without resorting to a programme of road building and is due to become operational in 2006.
		However, questionnaire responses indicated that trial participants who saw the Red X were significantly more positive about the effect that the scheme will have on motorway travel and some participants who saw the blank AMI recommended the use of a red X for this purpose.
		This was used as evidence to suggest that participants found the use of red X more appealing than a blank AMI to indicate that the hard shoulder was closed to normal traffic.

	icBirmingham - Speed up M42 traffic jam plan
		Jerry Blackett, chairman of the the West Midlands Business Transport Group, said until the results of the M42 pilot scheme around the NEC and Birmingham International Airport were known, the HA was unable to make a long term recommendation to the Department of Transport "concerning the capacity solutions for the heavily used piece of motorway".
		ATM is in place between junction 3a, its links with the M40, and junction 7, the M6 link, on the M42.
		Last month, the HA introduced mandatory variable speed limits on the road and in early 2007 plans to start using the hard shoulder as an extra lane for cars, when congestion levels are particularly bad.

		It called for a higher level to be introduced on stretches of motorway where there are variable speed signs, such as the M25 around London and the M42 in the Birmingham area.
		The AA said the 80mph limit would need to be vigorously enforced but road safety groups expressed opposition to the plan.

		Britain's motorway speed limit of 70mph will be replaced with an 80mph 'variable' limit under plans being considered by the Department for Transport.
		The Transport Department is looking at whether variable limits, already in place along parts of the M25 around London and M42 in the Midlands, could be used to introduce an 80mph limit if con ditions are dry and the motorway is relatively traffic-free.
		The Government is also responding to a Conservative pledge to raise the motorway speed limit to 80mph, which is believed to be popular with the public.
