  1. ever since the work started on this smart motorway. about 9 years ago, the people who run the warning signs on the overhead gantries are the most useless set of people who run this service. for the whole of those nine years i have sent in dozens of complaints to their inability to give drivers up to date information, yes they put up warning notices of problems on motorways hundreds of miles away from the M60/M62 area The gentleman who claims about the J17 exit roads at whitefield, must be the worst road on the whole motorway system, it is still causing major problems, even after 9 years. it still being shut down, must be a record. I wrote a letter to the ministry of transport about these problems, but i never got an answer, . The people who take charge of the warning sighs have no one who is in charge of them, they do what they like, it is paid for by the taxpayer like the NHS a never ending pot of money poured into the MOTORWAY BLACK HOLE. AT THE TIMEOF THIS SO CALLED SMART MOTOR WAY, i said it would be cheaper to build a new MOTORWAY from scratch. It still goes on today these 2 motorways are still being shut down week in week out all the year round, the government want to get a grip of this waste of billions of £ our money, and sack the lazy set of the most useless people that is stealing our money

  2. Information: Very heavy congestion on M62 Eastbound at Junction 20 due to workforce on the road. Down to one lane out of four. Best to turn off and look for an alternative route.

  3. WITHOUT a doubt. the people who the overhead gantry signs in the greater Manchester are the most incompetent lot of articles i have ever come across. Take W/E 15 17 OCT. I tried to get home from A627M from the ROYTON ROUNDABOUT. about midnight on 15/10/2021. i found the whole roundabout down to one lane the slip road entrance to the A627M was blocked off . AS USUAL no warnings of any sort of the SIGNS on THE MOTORWAY M62 EAST or anywhere else. LAST FRIDAY 22/2021 IT GOT WORST driving from J17 WHITEFIELD TO J20 EAST i went of the M62 to the roundabout expecting to travel along the A 627M TO OLDHAM i found the entrance to the A627M OLDHAM was blocked off. not one warning sign on the M60 OR M62 EAST. it got worse on my way home from ROYTON i found the entrance to the A627M TOWARDS J20 WEST blocked off. it was about midnight. So PICKED UP THE M62 WEST AT HEYWOOD. on my way home to J17 at WHITEFIELD. guest what J17 SLIP ROAD WAS CLOSED. not one warning sign was lit up i was trying to get home to WHITEFIELD. The people of PRESTWITCH AND WHITEFIELD has suffer 6 years of misery while these motorways were turned into smart motorways. it is still going on. some of it was caused by the people giving out the info of the motorway closures . they caused chaos with misleading information caused accidents when they put out warning signs -motorways closed when they were open. motorways open A ND when motorways open when they were closed. Take J17 M60 EAST/WEST it has been the most shut down than any other part of the whole motorway system most cases no warning signs on these clever brightly lit matrix information. EVEN now i travel the M60/M62 EAST WEST and what do i see. warnings signs lit up telling people of roadworks ahead on M1 M6 hundreds of miles away from my area when they can not even tell us what is happening in the local area. a few weeks ago i went east from J17 TO J20 about 9pm as i past J18 the overhead gantries were lit up warning drivers to slow down, as there were 3 lanes closed it showed 3 lanes with red crosses on eveybody slowed down. a queue formed. A couple of miles down the road the 3 lanes were never shut down. The bloody warning signs had been left on from an earlier incident do you see what i am getting at ANYHOW whose bothered hundreds of millions of pounds has been spent on these motorways. it is only taxpayers money no one regulates how it is spent. if these things keep happening it does not matter there is plenty more money where thay comes from/
