M40 Best-Rated Motorway
In a new survey, conducted by the independent watchdog Transport Focus, the M40 has been revealed to be the most highly-rated motorway in England. The Strategic Road User Survey showed that the motorway, which runs through Birmingham to London, had a driver satisfaction rating of 79%.
According to Transport Focus, some 5,000 drivers were asked about their last journey on a motorway or major A-road managed by National Highways. Overall, 69% of road-users said that they were ultimately satisfied with their last journey. More specifically, 67% were happy with the amount of time their journeys took. However, only 48% said they were satisfied with with the management of road works.
England’s ‘Arteries’
Anthony Smith, chief executive of Transport Focus, has described England’s motorways as the ‘arteries’ of the nation. He said, “England’s motorways and major ‘A’ roads are its arteries, allowing people and goods to be moved around efficiently. These results show that what drivers experience varies from road to road, with journey time and how busy it is being key to journey satisfaction”.
He added, “as the summer getaway begins, this survey shows the importance of National Highways striving to minimise hold ups and providing good information so drivers know what to expect if it will be busy. And it points to the ongoing need to focus on delivering roadworks with the least disruption possible, as well as keeping road surfaces in good condition”.
