Navigating the Gateway to the North West

Manchester holds a unique position as the commercial and cultural engine of Northern England. According to the TomTom Traffic Index, Manchester ranked as the 29th most congested city globally in 2023, with local commuters losing an average of 85 hours annually to rush-hour delays. Modern urban mobility studies now place the average one-way commute in Manchester at approximately 39 minutes, highlighting the significant pressure on the region's transport infrastructure.

With the M60 orbital defining the city's transport landscape, Greater Manchester handles an immense volume of regional and through-traffic every day. Data from the Department for Transport (DfT) indicates that sections of the M60, particularly between junctions 15 and 16, are frequently cited as the busiest motorway segments in the entire United Kingdom.

The intersection of the M60, M62, and M61 (Simister Island) is one of the most significant traffic nodes in the country, making real-time traffic monitoring a necessity for local residents.

The Mancunian Way represents another significant traffic challenge. As one of the busiest urban motorways in the UK, it provides a high-capacity link through the city centre that is essential for cross-city movement. By utilizing our live street cameras, drivers can check for accidents or maintenance-related delays before they start their journey through the city core.
