CM'S VERDICT

All three trucks had remarkably easy jour How much this was due to freak traffic conditions is open to conjecture, but it d seem that even the relatively modest arr of car traffic displaced from the M6 onto M6 Toll was enough to reduce the volun the existing road network to below the c mass when it all grinds to a haft.
According to Trafficmaster, in the fir week after the M6 Toll opened conges levels on the old M6 halved and there was also a considerable reduction in congestion on the A5. Although congE levels across the UK were also down i this period, Trafficmaster believes that the new road has had a significant effi in real terms. Only a few months' runni will produce the definitive answer, and Intend to repeat the test in the spring.
In the meantime, our suggestion is ti listen to the various traffic information services, and only blow your tenner if M6 goes back to its old tricks.
