Dead fawn between the right lane and central reservation, 26th April

Fri, 26 Apr 2024 09:30:43 +0100
53.453835 -2.424827

Sorry, I've pin pointed an estimate location. It's on the M62, Eccles, Manchester as you're driving away from the city. The deceased fawn is close to the central reservation where there's a concrete division, but I'm very worried that other drivers might not spot it and drive over it as it's still close to the right lane.

40MPH Speed limit sign, 14th March

Tue, 14 Mar 2023 19:40:21 +0000
53.451254 -2.428524

I travel from MCR to Birchwood most days, the speed limit is often set to 60mph until you get to the first speed camera where the speed limit drops to 40mph. Theirs never any obstruction requiring the speed to be reduced however ever the 20mph drop in speed caused most drivers to brake in order to get down to the 40mph speed limit. This is dangerous, especially in wet conditions. It won’t be long until someone is hurt. Once you pass the speed camera the next sign is back to National Speed Limit. Why? Is this to intentionally cause driver to be caught speeding?

Contradictory messages on matrix sign eastbound M62 J11 to J12, 19th January

Thu, 19 Jan 2023 23:48:39 +0000
53.45157 -2.428265

Passed a matrix sign on the M62 at around 9:45 this morning with two traffic signs. The first was the slippery Road sign, with a message to slow down, which was sensible given the icy conditions. Right next to it, however, was a national speed limit sign. These messages are contradictory to a motorist not breaking the speed limit. Alternatively, the implication may be that it is assumed that most motorists are breaking the law (unlikely given the speed cameras in this area) and should slow down to national speed limit, which would be a worthwhile recommendation irrespective of the driving conditions. It didn't really surprise me anyway, given the regularity of unusual speed limits being set on this stretch of the motorway e.g. 70mph signs in pouring rain at rush hour, 50mph signs at 10pm in good conditions with hardly any cars on the road etc.

Missing weight limit signs, 15th January

Sun, 15 Jan 2023 00:03:57 +0000
53.445981 -2.439405

This sign has had its weight limit sign cut down and is a severe risk to the highway users below this bridge is purely a drainage culver and for years has had a sign the same as at the end of Barton moss road stating that the road is not suitable for vehicles over 16 ton laden weight. This is a major risk to the motorway users

Confusing road markings on M62 between junction 12 and 11, 8th January

Sun, 08 Jan 2023 15:33:19 +0000
53.460351 -2.416056

Road markings left by roadworks on the M62 have been poorly painted over, with markings by cats eyes also left. It is very difficult to see which are the proper road markings, and which are old markings left by road works, especially in sunny or wet weather as the light reflects off them all equally. This results in confused cars swerving over and across lanes as they are unsure where the correct lane is, and the resulting slow driving and braking could very easily cause an accident

Every day traveling to Manchester on m62 from birchwood Warrington the speed and warning signs are being miss used signing up problems which are NOT OCCURRING or UNNECESSARY SPEED LIMITS I:e showing congestion at 5:30am ! when there isn't any AT ALL ! it's the same at 2:45pm on my way back to Warrington with TOTALLY UNNECESSARY 40MPH LIMIT ( good for revenue at the camera level with irlam cutnock lane bridge ) . I was nearly back ended by a truck this morning (6/10/22 at 5:38am) at the camera location near irlam estate this morning ! as trucks don't seem to heed the unnecessary speed limits .. I had ALL these incidents of unnecessary signage and restrictions on 4K dash camera ready for publication on YouTube and I am currently preparing footage of these incidents to send motoring magazines and papers. SORT IT OUT PLEASE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED !!

53.457843 -2.418373

Very confusing and off-putting signage through roadworks coming out of Manchester at 1230am today. In a 2 Mike stretch there was signs for 60mph , 40mph , 50mph 70mph , obstruction in road . Cars didn't know what to do . Slow down speed up. Road was empty,, visibility ok . No works at all progressing. Very off-putting and frustrating stop start and Very difficult to control speeds and to limits in such a short stretch of road. Needs serious review.

Faulty variable speed gantry between junction 12 and 11, M62 westbound, 11th May

Wed, 11 May 2022 23:17:41 +0100
53.456548 -2.420858

On Wednesday 11th of May at approximately 10pm, I was traveling Westbound between junctions 12 and 11. I was using my cruise control set to 50mph, as there was a message on the roadside gantry stating that there was a stranded vehicle, and to avoid the inside lane, and travel at 50mph. As I approached an overhead gantry, this warning cleared, and the national speed limit sign was displayed. I set my cruise control to 65mph, and traveled under the gantry at approximately 62-63mph. At this point the overhead gantry flashed. As I was the only car going through the gantry at that point, I am worried that the gantry is faulty, and I and others traveling through this stretch may receive erroneous fines as a result. My vehicle reg is ND71 YWF.

Speed camera flash danger, 5th January

Wed, 05 Jan 2022 20:25:41 +0000
53.451355 -2.428268

4/1/22 @ 18:49:09 (location co ordinates N53.45150 W2.42818) We narrowly avoided an rta last night as the speed camera facing the opposite direction flashed as we were passing under it. The flash was so intense that it momentarily obstructed my view completely, followed by glare in my right eye. We originally thought that it was lightning as it was so intense, however viewing my dashcam footage, it became clear that it was in fact the flash from the speed camera. I feel this needs looking into as i am thankfully a confident driver but others may not be so lucky.
