Accident Recovery at the M55's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M55 where we are called out most often, and where we keep accident recovery resources close at hand:

Junction 4 (Blackpool terminus at Marton), the transition from motorway to the A583 urban road creates massive queues during Illuminations season and summer weekends; vehicles idle for up to an hour, causing overheating and battery drain; the junction simply cannot handle peak demand

Junction 1 (M6 interchange at Broughton), holiday traffic surging from the M6 onto the M55 creates eastbound congestion when returning; the merge is particularly problematic on Sunday evenings and bank holiday returns when tired drivers react slowly

Central section (Fylde plain exposure), the flat, treeless landscape offers zero wind protection; crosswinds from the Irish Sea buffet caravans and motorhomes; autumn and winter storms create dangerous conditions on the exposed carriageway
