A TWO-YEAR programme installing new-style signs to let drivers know where they are if they break down or want to report a problem on the motorway has been completed by the Highways Agency in Cheshire.

All motorway routes in the area now have driver location signs after installation was recently completed along the M57 in Merseyside and the M60 ring road in Greater Manchester.

The signs tell road users which motorway they are driving on, the direction they are travelling in and exactly where they are on the motorway.

The North West was the first to get a small number of the signs on the M6 in a 2005 pilot scheme with the installation programme proper launched in 2007.
