M60 motorway traffic, speed data

Our ref: HA027/049/540/1

Dear Mr Walton

I am writing to confirm that we have now completed our search for the
information, which you requested on 20 January 2009.

You asked for the Current Average Traffic Speed information for the M60
for the last 12 months. We do hold profiled average journey time
information for each section of the M60 and this is used to calculate
speed information real time as shown on our website. However, we do not
retain this data.

In keeping with the spirit and effect of the Freedom of Information Act,
all information is assumed to be releasable to the public unless exempt.
We will, therefore, be simultaneously releasing to the public the
information you requested, together with any related information that
will provide a key to its wider context via our website:
http://www.highways.gov.uk/

The information supplied to you continues to be protected by the
Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. You are free to use it for your
own purposes, including any non-commercial research you are doing and
for the purposes of news reporting. Any other re-use, for example
commercial publication, would require the permission of the copyright
holder. [Delete where appropriate]

Most documents supplied by us will have been produced by government
officials so will be Crown Copyright. You can find details on the
arrangements for re-using Crown copyright on the Office of Public Sector
Information website at: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/click-use/index.htm.
[Delete where appropriate]

If you are unhappy with the way we have handled your request, you may
ask for an internal review. A leaflet detailing our internal review
process is available. If you require a copy, please phone the Highways
Agency Information Line on 08457 50 40 30; or e-mail
[Highways Agency request email]. You should contact me if you wish to
complain.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
Information Commissioner's Office
