Video and report here on the roadworks. Around the area mention and upto 24/23 seems to have been going on for years. Before this there was a solid central reservation put in that covered many miles. Anyone else use this section often.

You should read the arrogant report by the engineer in charge of these roadworks in the Telegraph and Argus.

No I've not read it, have you a link?

Just read it. Seems to have been years since I can remember when there wasn't roadworks there. The Bradford/IKEA junction is a nightmare it seems any time of day it's clogged with traffic. I think they'd need 6 lanes in both ways to clear the congestion on rush hour.

As I commented on another thread:-
"Oh, and while I'm on the sort of subject. I drove on M62 yesterday - there are cones and a 50 and 40 speed limit for about 20 miles (OK, I exaggerate a bit) from near Bradford to M62/M1 interchange, been the same for months. But did I see one workman or even a working piece of machinery? No. Went round M25 southern bit today near M23 junction - several miles of cones etc and 50 limit. Any sign of a workman or any machines? No. Been the same for months. What's going on?? If anything."
It was about 2pm when I crossed M62 West to East. A week earlier I had crossed East to West at about 10am and W-E at about midday - same thing, not a workman in sight. What's more, there doesn't seem to be any plant equipment visible.One gets the impression the road"works" have been abandoned - when do they do any work?

Used to go that way every week, but not any more. I don't know about the engineer chap being 'arrogant' but it is a pleasure not to have to endure the constant stop-start, pointless lane swapping and tailgating any more, and all of that is down to drivers.
And I know we don't know the rest of the numbers, but if he is correct in saying that 12% of incidents are due to people running out of fuel, I'd be happy if their cars were crushed or torched and left on the embankment as a message to anybody else who sets off on to a massively busy stretch of crowded motorway with half a cup of fuel in the tank

Believe the Specs cameras are still generating some income.
