Uneven surface

Reported via desktop in the Road surface (NH) category anonymously at 05:50, Fri 3 January 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6924391.

The M6 between Junctions 6 and 9 is dangerous for motorcycles. The bands that run transversely across the carriageway upset the handling. I suffered a mild "tank-slapper" that lasted for several hundred yards which was induced by these bands. It was terrifying and I was forced to use the toll section on my return journey. I understand that this is a long term fix, but while it is dangerous for motorcycles, the toll section should at least be free
