About M6 Traffic
We have been publishing traffic news since 2009 and the M6 Motorway website is one of the latest we have added to our motorway dedicated sites.
Lots of people regularly use the same motorway to commute to work every day, visit friends and family, take day trips or holidays and breaks.
Delivery drivers often deliver on the same routes. Our dedicated sites are aimed to help those people quickly find the relevant traffic news and updates they need.
M6 Traffic is a free, independent website dedicated to the M6 motorway — bringing together the latest M6 traffic news, reports, roadworks and delays in one clear, easy-to-use place updated at least every 5 minutes. It’s part of our Traffic News England network, a family of road-specific sites that help drivers check their route before they set off.
We put a lot of thought into providing the best most reliable traffic news and updates we can from reliable or official sources.
The way we present the traffic information has also been given a lot of thought with the aim of taking information that sometimes all looks the same and presenting it in a way that is clear and quick and easy to read.
80% or more of our users are using mobile phones to look up and track the latest M6 traffic news and updates, find the latest M6 delays and roadworks to plan their journey around. Our sites are all designed to load quickly and use as little mobile data while viewing our sites as possible.
At times there can be a lot of M6 traffic information for incidents, accidents, roadworks happening right now, today. We make the traffic updates filterable as often you want to be able to filter large amount of traffic updates for just the junctions or direction you intend to travel.
Helping M6 Drivers
The M6 is the UK’s longest motorway, running around 230 miles from the M1 at Catthorpe (Junction 19) north through the West Midlands, Cheshire, Lancashire and Cumbria to the Scottish border at Gretna. It is also one of the busiest — carrying heavy commuter and freight traffic, especially around Birmingham and the North West — so roadworks, delays and incidents are common. The M6 Toll relieves the busy stretch around Birmingham (Junctions 3A to 11a). It always pays to check the latest M6 traffic news before you set off.
Other Motorways
The M6 meets the M42, the M5 at Junction 8, the M54, the M56 at Junction 20, the M62 at Junction 21A, the M61 at Junction 30 and the M55, and begins at the M1. If your journey also uses one of them, our sister sites cover them in the same easy format: M1 Traffic, M60 Traffic, M25 Traffic and M4 Traffic.
