Questions

M62 — FAQ

Is there an accident on the M62 today?

Yes — 1 news report naming the M62 reached our feeds in the last 24 hours (listed below with source and time). Official live incidents inside the corridor are shown separately when a transport authority publishes them.

Where does this M62 page get its data?

Three places, none of them estimated: (1) news headlines from GDELT, Google News RSS and GNews that name the road, country-matched so the British M1 and the Pakistani M-1 are never mixed up; (2) official incident feeds already on this site (511 systems, state DOT ArcGIS layers, city feeds, MapQuest) filtered to points within 12 km of the road's centreline; (3) the live traffic-camera index for cameras nearest to each waypoint.

How is 'near the M62' defined?

The road is stored as 8 waypoints (Liverpool (J6), Warrington (J9), Manchester (J18), Rochdale (J20)…). A report or incident counts as on the corridor when it lies within 12 km of the line between those waypoints. City-level geocoded reports are approximate by nature — they mark the city, not the exact carriageway.

What should I do if I am in a crash on the M62?

Get to a safe place away from live lanes if you can, call 999, and give the direction, junction or mile marker. Do not stand between vehicles or on the hard shoulder longer than necessary. This page is informational and updates every 15 minutes; it is not an emergency service.
