M6 Manchester to Stoke - Mapmaker
Am I alone in finding this the least useable bit of road in Britain (second maybe to the M25)? I've been up and down it a dozen or more times this year. Actually, I haven't. I have been up and down long stretches of the A50 instead... Bucklow Hill, Knutsford, Holmes Chapel, Sandbach, Stoke as the M6 appears to be constantly solid. Oh and junctions 15-16 around Stoke is the worst of a bad lot.

Is it just me?

M6 Manchester to Stoke - Halmer
It's recognised as one of the busiest stretches in Europe if I recall.

I live near to Stoke. Even on a Sunday it is chocca.

Hence Alastair Darling's initial consultation paper on the building of two more lanes or a toll road last year. I gather that a further announcement due shortly. Even if you think that extra roads are a good idea it's likely to be 2015 before you drive up one of them.
