Traffic levels on motorways have grown faster than the national growth rate for all roads in the past few years. In some locations flows at peak periods have reached critical levels; in others such levels will be reached in the near future. A location where the morning peak flows are already critical is between Junction 10 and Junction 9 southbound on M6 motorway. It is here that an access control scheme using ramp metering techniques is programmed (at the time of writing, Autumn 1985) to be introduced by the West Midlands Regional Office of the Department of Transport in early Summer 1986. The scheme has been developed by Wooton Jeffreys Consultants Ltd. and is being installed by Plessey Controls Ltd. The technique of access control by ramp metering is well established in the United States, where there a large number of schemes. The most recent of these controls access to key feeder routes from the state of Virginia to Washington D.C. Access control schemes also exist in both Canada and France. Most of these, however, do not incorporate the dynamic setting of the downstream flow limit, which is a key feature of the M6 scheme.
