Traffic police have been catching more drivers who have been waiting on the hard shoulder of the M56 to avoid parking at Manchester Airport. Greater Manchester Police announced they had issued traffic offence reports (TORs) to three more drivers on Wednesday.
Drivers parking up along the hard shoulder of the busy motorway have become familiar scenes in recent months, with many waiting along the carriageway to pick up or drop off people travelling from Manchester Airport to avoid paying car parking fees.
North West Motorway Police have tweeted numerous incidents in recent months - previously warning: "The hard shoulder is not a safe place to be waiting for those coming off flights and when caught it is much more expensive than the airport charges!"
