M1 Widening

High Occupancy Lanes (The Alternative) Submitted by: Jim on Apr 09, 2006

Now here's a novelty to cut down on traffic congestion instead of creating additional running lanes......

Instead of creating additional motorway running lanes, why not introduce High Occupancy Lanes (car sharing to you and me) and about to be implemented on Junctions 7 to 10 of the M1.
If the HOV scheme is successful, it is likely to be extended to cover Junctions 10-13 of the M1
