The M6 motorway is the main conduit between England's second city (Birmingham) and the heavily populated north-west of England including the cities of Liverpool and Manchester as well as the only major route for road freight between England and Scotland.

This very heavy traffic is further constrained by a mostly 3-lane motorway which has frequent junctions that contribute to accidents which cause all too frequent delays.
