CHESHIRE Fire and Rescue service will be giving some key motorway safety advice next month.
Road safety experts from the fire service will be at Sandbach services near to Junction 17 Middlewich on the M6 on Monday, August 10 and Friday, August 21, in a bid to help decrease the amount of motorway collisions.
In Cheshire from 2014 to 2015 there were 576 road traffic collisions on motorways with 52 of them resulting in death or serious injury.
Colin Heyes, road safety manager for the Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: "Our unique brand and ability to engage with all groups and ages places us in an enviable position where we can make a difference with the aim of creating safer roads for all users.
"We hope that this campaign, in which we are working with Highways England, will drive down the number of people killed on our motorway network and that a successful campaign locally will lead to a national campaign in the coming years."
