Traffic
The A6 through High Lane has long suffered from heavy congestion, and the addition to the road network in October 2018 of the A6MARR — the A555 road extension with realigned A6 access — has increased the problem in High Lane by attracting more traffic, although other areas of the borough were expected to benefit from a reduction.
Recent changes in official traffic-monitoring locations and methodology, together with changing traffic patterns attributable to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic have added to the difficulty of making direct comparisons, but HLRA remains committed to scrutinising the traffic data to act in the best interests of local residents.
