Driving along the M62 westbound from St Helen’s. Not only is the surface of the slip road down onto the m62 shocking the surface of the motorway is appalling . Yet again like with councils, so many patch up jobs. No lights and a pothole on the inside lane approaching jct 8. Drove through it and the most horrendous noise. Not sure how my car survived!

Pothole upon the approach to exit of junction 8, 26th January

Fri, 26 Jan 2024 21:37:30 +0000
53.413899 -2.670387

Pothole on the inside lane (1st lane) on the approach to the exit of junction 8 on m62. I was driving at 70mph when my car hit this pot hole, unknown depth however was enough for all in the car to wince and engine management light appeared on my dash board immediately. Pulled over just off the roundabout on junction 8 to see if turning my car on and off would erase the management light to no avail. Continue to drive albeit slower to my destination on the advice of my onboard computer. Arranged my car to be looked at on Friday 26th Jan 2024 resulting in diagnosed n/s/f damaged tyre needed replacing and n/s/f level sensor for suspension needed replacing. Evidence can be provided and car booked in for this repair work.

Very poor line markings from J8 turn off eastwards. Multiple lanes as leaving the traffic lights and currently getting into the correct line requires remembering roughly where you should be in the road rather than being able to follow the line markings., 24th October

Signage issues west bound J8 M62, 22nd March

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 08:54:18 +0000
53.415148 -2.64549

The signage for omega N & S is insufficient as you come up the slip road. Almost daily HGV's are in middle of 5 lanes when intending to use the park. Almost daily they then realise the mistake late and dangerously pull across lanes, sometimes drivers are reserved and wait but normally they just go for it. I have come to expect it when I see a lorry in that lane and hold back, at some point one will go over a car and someone will get hurt
