New signs at M60-M61 danger junction
3:40pm Tuesday 18th March 2008
By Staff Reporter »
A £136,000 scheme to cut accidents at a busy motorway junction south of Bolton has been revealed.
Eight new signs are being installed on the link roads where the M60 meets the M61 at Kearsley to give clearer directions to motorists and help them to make sure they are in the correct lane.
There have been more than 50 accident casualties at the M60 junction 15-M61 interchange in the past five years and the Highways Agency wants to make the location safer for motorists.
Sujad Hussain, Highways Agency project manager, said: "We are installing eight lane allocation signs on the link road between the M60 and M61 to reduce side swipe accidents on the four-lane section where the M60 meets the M61.
"The safety of motorists is our number one priority."
The work will be carried out overnight, between 10pm and 5am, from March 25. It is expected that the work will be completed by April 11.
A temporary 50mph speed limit and traffic management will be in place in both directions of the M60 approaching junction 15 while the work is being carried out.

Sujad Hussain project manager,
Do you think any of these drivers will read the signs,
Get real a waste of 136k,
50 accidents in five years 10 per year,
Not bad considering traffic as probably doubled in that time,
More cars more accidents logic i would say

Ah yes! Once again, we enter a parallel universe where we don't have to worry about attempts to improve safety. Afterall, they are only accidents. They were bound to happen. There's nothing you can do about them.
In fact, we could even save more money. Let's forget about hard shoulders, carriage lighting, central reservations and crash barriers. We could even get rid of lane markings and emergency telephones. Just think of the savings. A few more people may die but, hey, we can just class them as accidents.

i use that junction every day,puting up a few poxy signs at a huge expense won't make the slightest bit of difference...maybe educating the drivers that drive round with their eyes shut or using a mobile phone would reduce the collisions...after all..lets face it they are not accidents just poor driving..

They have probably closed the threads because to many people can't handle the truth. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if you don't agree. Unfortunatly to many people get offensive towards fellow supporters.

We are a nation of signs. Will there be too many signs there? We have smoking ban signs everywhere and nobody can go anywhere without seeing loads of them. We have so many signs on our roads that drivers get confused and have accidents. Is there anywhere that is sign free?

Firstly - I heard the Hovis programme on Radio 4..it was fab, I have e-mailed Mark Radcliffe to thank him.
Next - why no posting on some thread?
On the "Mills-Mcartney" thread I wanted to write..is this the best you can do BN, apeing the very worst of tabloid? what has this to do with life in Bolton?
Lastly, you know who the troublmakers on the threads are..I could tell you them myself, just ban them..I did say that about 6 months ago and nothing gets done.
Sorry to hi-jack the thread..never had any probs myself at that junction..

Traffic accidents especially on motorways are invariably caused by idiot people thinking that roads are not really roads at all but race tracks and to be a real man you must get from one set of lights to the next in the shortest time possible.
It's all part of the 'out of my way, I am the only one, to prove it I will be more aggressive than you, culture.
Whats happened to our country?

Horwich As, BN cannot currently ban posters because they just register again, and post nonsense again. I suggest anyone else who's fed up with them write to the editor in chief in the hope action might be taken to allow those who want to discuss things meaningfully, can. As you say, they know the half a dozen culprits to blame.

As Victor Meldrew would say "I don't believe it!"
Andrew is still here and still trying to cause trouble. Why on Earth did he paste the story again? If it was in response to King Pric's two line post then I have to say Andrew's cut and paste is a bigger nuicance. The two liner we can easily ignore especialy once you spot it's author but Andrew's cut and paste has to be scrolled past.

You and your PC buddies are the minority opinion on here Andrew. There will only be three posters remaining on here once everyone who disagrees with you have been banned.
If you believe in democracy, then let the majority rule here and you and your two buddies can go off and form your own forum where you all agree with each other.

They could ban anyone registering from a specfic IP address I suppose.

It should not be beyond the Bolton News to moderate comments which go against their terms.
A blanket ban on the Wanderers site is press censorship. I understand the majority of the complaints have come from within the club itself, who are becomming extremely jittery at the levels of criticism aimed at the Board and Management.
This newspaper has a far too comfortable relationship with BWFC, and should be serving its readers instead, much as the Newcastle Evening Chronicle does. That paper does not suck up to the club, but does proper investigative journalism on behalf of fans and readers.
Apologies for my highjack also.

Bob, looks like the BWFC comments went precisely because of the same antics seen in the news section. Bn only moderates reactively and is not currently geared up to deal with posts as they happen. Shame that people, adults, need moderating but they clearly do. It will happen the way things are going because this mayhem is not sustainable.

Spice they wont let you post because we tell the truth,
Also you have the PC brigade crying wolf because they get up peoples noses that much,
But for them three or four,
They know who they are debates would go on without name calling,
Its called opinions which according to these people we are not allowed to have,
Unless of course you happen to agree with them.

Bob if you go into a resturant and pay £60 for a meal and its rubbish,
Do you walk out and say nothing ,
Or do you complain,
This is what BW fans are doing complaning they are not getting value for money,
Its there right to do this but BN suck up to BWFC and pull the stories pathetic

Mirrors signal manoeuvre.
Nuff said.
Prosecute the negligent drivers. They're not "accidents". You know it, I know it, the police know it.
Any magistrate who read this should invoke their powers under the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 to disqualify drivers found guilty of driving without due care and attention until they have retaken their driving test. It's a facility provided by law yet I've never heard of it ever being used. A fine and penalty points just aren't getting the message across.
Here's my message: WATCH WHERE YOU'RE FECKING GOING!
