Britain's First Dedicated Motorway Car Share Lane
In 2007, work started on the M606 to create the UK's first motorway carsharing lane (also known as high-occupancy vehicle or HOV lane). The 1.7-mile (2.7 km) lane scheme is on the M606 southbound and will allow vehicles with more than one person in the car a fast track onto the M62 eastbound at Junction 26.

It announces the determination to share existence with the enemy; more than that, with an enemy which is weak.”
