M60 Motorway Variable Speed Limits Now

This page shows what the M60 overhead signs are displaying right now — the electronic message signs National Highways use to warn drivers about closures, queues, hazards and journey times. They are listed junction by junction, in the direction of travel, for both carriageways.

Each message shows when National Highways last set it and how long ago. Signs can warn about a road ahead, so a message may be about a road you join later. We take road-closed messages off this page 12 hours, and other messages 2 hours, after National Highways last set them.
