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

	M56 motorway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The M56 is a motorway, also known as the North Cheshire motorway, in Cheshire and Greater Manchester, England.
		The motorway is often busy with long-distance commuter traffic towards North Wales as well as providing access to Manchester Airport from the national motorway network.
		After meeting the M53 motorway, the road finally returns to two lanes, it proceeds between Chester to the south and Ellesmere Port to its termination at a roundabout at Mollington.

	Pathetic Motorways: A556(M)
		Traffic running between the M6 from the south and the M56 towards Manchester is not catered for at the M6/M56 junction.
		As you might imagine, it's moved around a little, though generally the majority of the motorway was planned to be to the north of A556.
		The route they proceeded with was a new motorway (I don't know if 4 or 6 lanes) about 300 yards to the west of the A556.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/M53 motorway
		The M53 is a motorway in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral and Cheshire on the Wirral Peninsula in England.
		In March 1981 the M531 was lengthened to meet the M56 and at this stage the whole route was redesignated as the M53.
		The unbuilt motorway would have provided a bypass of the A41 and would likely have terminated on the M56, though exactly where is unknown.

	Highways Agency - Print
		The increase in motorway to motorway traffic is due to the A556(M) and widened M6 and M56, drawing back onto the motorway network traffic that has sought other routes due to the previously degraded level of service, particularly in the peak periods, that was provided on the strategic network.
		In relation to motorway to motorway traffic, the scheme is not effective in retaining and encouraging strategic traffic onto the motorway, with only 35% of motorway to motorway trips retained on the motorway network.
		Landscape proposals for the M6/ M56 widening and Lymm interchange, and for the M56 junction 7-6 widening have been developed alongside this assessment, to ensure that the landscape and visual impacts of each of the proposals are minimised.

		The M56 Motorway (Hapsford to Lea-by-Backford Section) and Connecting Roads Scheme 1976 is hereby partially revoked.
		The length of motorway to be revoked is set out in the schedule to this Scheme and is shown by a heavy fl line on the deposited plan.

	Highways Agency - Area Study, May 2003
		The M56 Junctions 7 - 6 is treated in the study as a 'stand-alone' scheme and since the brief was to investigate capacity problems, a D4M standard was used as the basis of any required increase in capacity.
		The centreline of the widened motorway is offset from the existing centreline by 3.6 metres, with the edge of the widened carriageway being positioned 2.4 metres beyond the back of the existing verge.
		This widening of the M56 is proposed on the north side between Primrose Hill (the A50 Crossing) and Junction 7 at Bowdon, with the 4-lane carriageways being continuous through Bowdon Interchange.

	The Scotsman - UK - Scots family victims in motorway crash
		A family from Fife was among the tourists travelling in the courtesy taxi, which crashed on an early-morning transfer from a hotel in south Manchester to the airport terminal for holiday flights abroad.
		It is understood that the minibus clipped the front of a green Toyota Carina while overtaking and crossing from the middle lane of the motorway to the outside lane shortly before junction 4, the turn-off for Manchester Airport.
		A motorway patrol police officer parked nearby administered first aid to the casualties while waiting for ambulances to arrive at the scene.

	CBRD - Motorway Database - M56 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Poetically described as the North Cheshire motorway, the M56 has the unenviable task of carrying all Manchester-bound traffic from the south and all Cheshire-bound traffic from Manchester.
		Upon reaching Manchester, the M56 is one of very few roads to present a metaphysical problem.
		The Sharston Spur is longer than the remaining stub of motorway, but that's fine, because the M90 does the same.

	Roads Review - what role for trunk roads in England? - consultation paper
		Replacement of the existing A556 in Cheshire, between the M56 (Junction 7) and the M6 (Junction 19), with an off-line, 3 lane motorway and provision of new interchanges with the M6 and M56.
		The motorway is to be in cutting over the central section and to pass beneath the M56 and the A556.
		The scheme's objectives are to provide a motorway to motorway link which has capacity to meet predicted traffic growth and to enhance the environment of the local communities and improve safety along the existing A556 by the reduction in trunk road traffic.

	PH: RE: Tiger Tails on M60
		In addition to being the junction with M60, the M56 also becomes the A5103; the main route into Manchester and the current layout causes queuing at peak times with vehicles swooping across lanes at the last minute.
		The merge from the M56 to the M60 is not the problem it is a very long slip road more than a mile IIRC.
		The congestion is caused by the entry to the M60 not the exit from the M56.

		A temporary speed limit on Bowdon View Bridge - the link road between the westbound M56 motorway at J7 and the A556 / M6 south - is to be lifted to reduce congestion at the junction.
		The link road was reduced to a single lane and a 40mph speed limit was introduced in February while work was carried out to investigate a strengthening project to bring the bridge up to the latest safety standards.
		It manages, maintains and improves England's motorways and trunk roads on behalf of the Secretary of State.

	Food, accommodation, hotels & restaurants near motorway service stations
		Driving past junction after junction you are sure there must be just the place nearby, but without the local knowledge of the area you often spend valuable time looking for somewhere to stay but never finding quite what you want.
		View entries by individual junction or view all the establishments on any particular motorway and print off the list, either in whole or part and take with you on your journey.
		If you are driving around the UK motorway network, whether on business, holiday or just a day out use 'offmotorway.com' to plan your journeys and leave the motorway junctions to find food, refreshments, accommodation, meeting places and conference facilities just off the motorway network.

	PH: RE: The Road's Shut ok?
		The A556, which is the main route between the M6 north and the M56, is currently closed overnight and all day at weekends while the resurfacing work is being carried out, between the junctions with the A50 at Mere and the M56 Motorway at Junction 8.
		Compounded by the fact that when the M56 was built they neglected to put in a proper junction with the M6 making the whole thing a joke at the motorists expense.
		You exit the M56 to get upto the A50 double roundabout siyuated over the M6, use this to cross the M6 towards the services area and head on down the M6 southbound sliproad that way.
