An innovative scheme to reduce congestion and improve traffic flows at some of the busiest junctions on the M1 motorway in the East Midlands is currently being implemented. Work to install the part-time lights on the motorway entry slip roads, which will regulate the flow of traffic joining the motorway, called ramp metering, is now complete in the East Midlands. A period of testing the hardware and technology involved will now take place. The lights on the southbound entry slip road at M1 junction 25 were switched on for the first time early last month with the lights on the entry slip road at junction 28 northbound, junction 29 north and southbound and junction 24 northbound following suit in the coming weeks
