Faded markings/cat eyes not reflecting m6 northbound between j27 and j33

Reported via mobile in the Cat Eyes/ Reflectors (NH) category anonymously at 06:51, Wed 29 October 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8350387.

It’s incredibly difficult in the dark to see what lane you’re in, especially if raining. Dangerous in the dark to drive on the m6 in this area. When raining especially, in the dark, it is like driving on a massive wide stretch of road with no road markings.

Updates

  • There is a simple solution to this in the interim of a fix - please can the road lamps be switched on. There are lots of accidents in this area and agree that it is incredibly dangerous driving on this stretch of road in the dark.
