Work to 'reduce harm' at M6 junction complete
Cumbria PoliceWork to improve safety at a motorway junction has been completed.
It follows a number of serious crashes at Junction 37 on the M6, which carries the A684 over the motorway near Kendal, Cumbria.
National Highways, Westmorland and Furness Council and Cumbria Police worked together on the measures "to reduce harm".
These included new signs and road markings on the motorway slip roads.
Upgrades on the A684 included the introduction of double white centre lines to prohibit overtaking, yellow "rumble strips", red, high-friction banding and "SLOW" markings.
The work, which began in November, involved overnight closures.
Insp Jack Stabler of Cumbria Police, and chair of the road safety partnership, said: "This is a brilliant example of partnership collaboration, with agencies coming together and all looking at steps they can each take to reduce harm at a location."
