	M55 motorway Information
		The M55 motorway is a motorway in Lancashire, England.
		At its eastern extremity, to the north of Preston, the M55 is fed by slip roads from the M6 which predate the construction of the M55.
		The M55 terminates at Junction 4 ("Marton Circle") on the outskirts of Blackpool.

	The Motorway Archive. M55 Preston Northern By-pass
		When the Preston By-pass section of M6 was constructed in the late 1950's, its northern end connecting it with the A6 south of Broughton was planned to be the first part of the 'link', and filling was placed between the slip roads of the junction for this purpose.
		The alternative was to lift the level of the motorway, which would have involved a considerable additional expense in raising the viaduct and approach embankments, constructing additional retaining walls, lengthening the new slip roads and steepening the grades of the existing slip roads.
		It was to be an all-purpose road from the terminal roundabout of the M55, utilising a further one mile of the disused railway track bed, and would serve Blackpool South Shore and the Airport.

	M25 motorway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 anticlockwise carriageway continues as the M26 to the east (towards the M20) and the clockwise as the A21 towards the south coast.
		The distance of the motorway from central London (taken as Charing Cross) varies from approximately 12 miles (20 km) near Potters Bar to 20 miles (32 km) near Byfleet.

	CBRD - Motorway Database - M55
		The M55 doesn't have a junction 2, which was reserved for the planned Preston Western Bypass.
		The section from the M6 to junction 1 is part of the Preston Bypass, Britain's first motorway.
		Despite being effectively a spur to the seaside, the M55 was built in the best 1970's tradition with three lanes each way.

	LMARS - M6 and M55
		Preston was one of the biggest congestion hotspots in the UK in the 1950s, with traffic using the A6, A59 and A583 to cross the town, which meant North-South traffic on the A6 was conflicting with East-West traffic on the A59, along with holidaymakers headed to Blackpool on the A583.
		Eventually, traffic on the new M6 got worse as the motorway was extended southwards in the early 1960s (the gap between Junction 32 and 33 opened in 1965), and had to be widened to three lanes each way (although provision was made for this in the form of a wide central reservation).
		The motorway had severe congestion due to an earlier accident (and the fact it was rush hour), so I took the oppurtunity to get a photo of the 1974 M55 confirmation sign.

		An example of this would be vehicles joining the M55 Eastbound at Junction 1 and changing to the right hand lanes to continue towards the M6 Southbound On-Slip while vehicles alreadyon the M55 Eastbound travelling at high speed changing to the left hand lanes just beyond Junction 1 to continue towards the M6 North On-Slip.
		Section 3 of the M55 motorway that runs relatively close to the residential area of Fulwood, in the north of Preston.
		The introduction of additional motorway based communications on the westbound carriageway would enable the incoming traffic to be diverted along alternative routes to avoid this central congestion.

	M6 Junction 32 Preston North
		Whilst in 1975 the M55 was opened, the final chance came in 1995 with the adding of a forth lane to the M6 south of this junction up to the M61.
		One of the longest queue's every reported on a British motorway was an this section stretching from this junction at Preston, back about 25 miles to Carnforth (source : Guinness Book of Records).
		This is not just related to this junction but to motorway queue's caused by roadwork's, heavy traffic etc apart from something like a major accident which totally blocks the motorway.

		For this batch of tests I used our local motorway, the M55, when it was not busy.
		I started the tests outside my home, travelled to the motorway, got onto it and then set the cruise control to either 60 or 80 mph depending on which tests were being done.
		There are slight differences in the average velocities (not enough to effect the results) but this is due to traffic lights etc on the way to and from the motorway.
