TEN motorway slip-roads in the North-west are to have traffic lights installed in a bid to cut congestion.
Sensors on the slip-roads will mean the system can be turned off to stop traffic building up.
The technique, known as "ramp metering", will be used on the M62, M6 and M60 motorways in Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Merseyside.
Work will start on installing the lights this month, with the system starting in March.
