Call for Action,
If you are a regular user of the M3 between junction 1 and 3 you will be
aware of crazy scheme under trial by the Highways agency. Details can be
found on the highways Agency website at
http://www.highways.gov.uk/roads/projects/14533.aspx
Please sign my petition against this scheme on the 10 Downing Street
website at

In summary
In March 2007 The Highways Agency started a scheme designed to try and
reduce congestion on the M25 at junction 12 and give road users a
consistent and reliable journey time.
In order to achieve this they have reduced the M3 southbound to 1 lane
through the junction. They say that "this disbenefit will have to be
compared with the cost benefits to M25 traffic joining the M3". M3
motorists now have to endure daily southbound tailbacks at peak times. I
understand that M25/M3 slip traffic still queues at peak times.
This Petition campaigns for the restoration of the 2 lanes southbound on
the M3 through the scheme.
