The M42 (Junctions 3A to 7) (Actively Managed Hard Shoulder and Variable Speed Limits) Regulations 2005
These Regulations modify the Motorways Traffic (England and Wales) Regulations 1982 (“the 1982 Regulations”), in respect of the M42 Motorway, Junctions 3A to 7 and the adjoining slip roads (“the relevant roads”). On the relevant roads, the Regulations introduce variable speed limits and create the concept of an `actively managed hard shoulder', which is a section of hard shoulder which may, in certain circumstances, be driven on.
