M6 Toll junctions at a glance

The M6 Toll has eight junctions, numbered T1 to T8 from south to north. T1 and T2 sit in Zone A, T3 to T6 in Zone B, and T7 and T8 in Zone C. Four of the eight work in one direction only, which is the detail most junction lists leave out.

Which direction does each junction work in?

Half the junctions on this road are one-way. Read off the operator’s own junction map (PDF) on 28 September 2026, and cross-checked against the toll-station list on the operator’s pricing page. The toll-station entry says where you are charged at the junction itself, as opposed to at one of the two mainline plazas.

Junction	You can join	You can leave	Toll station
T1Dunton	Northbound from the A4097, southbound from the M42	Northbound to the M42; southbound traffic leaves the tolled road at this southern end, for the M42 south and the M6 at J3a	None at this junction

The practical consequences: you cannot start a journey at T2 at all, so drivers from the Wishaw and Sutton Coldfield side join at T1, which is in the same zone and costs the same. T5 only works northbound-on and southbound-off. T7 and T8 only work southbound-on and northbound-off.

Cost by junction pair

The M6 Toll is billed by how many of the three zones your journey crosses, not by the miles you drive, so a shorter run can cost the same as a longer one. Car (Class 2) prices for every junction pair we cover, contactless and on a Breeze account. Some pairs can only be driven one way, because several junctions only work in one direction. Tap a route for every vehicle class, which way you can drive it and where the toll is taken.

Junction by junction

Junction T1 (Dunton)

Zone A

Connects to: M42 J9, A4097 Kingsbury Road

Destinations: Curdworth, Minworth, Coleshill, and the NEC and Birmingham Airport via the M42

Directions: join northbound from the a4097, southbound from the m42; leave northbound to the m42; southbound traffic leaves the tolled road at this southern end, for the m42 south and the m6 at j3a

The southern end of the road, where the M6toll meets the M42 at J9. T1 has no toll station of its own: a journey starting here pays further on, at a junction exit toll station or at the Great Wyrley mainline plaza.

Junction T2 (Wishaw)

Zone A

Connects to: A446 Lichfield Road

Destinations: Wishaw, Sutton Coldfield, The Belfry

Directions: join no entry slip in either direction; leave southbound only

An exit-only junction. You can leave the road here heading south, but you cannot join at T2 at all. Drivers from the Wishaw and Sutton Coldfield side join at T1, which is in the same zone and so costs the same.

Junction T3 (Langley Mill)

Zone B

Connects to: A38 for Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, Lichfield and Tamworth

Destinations: Sutton Coldfield, Tamworth, Drayton Manor

Directions: join northbound and southbound; leave northbound and southbound

The first junction inside Zone B, and the usual exit for Tamworth and Drayton Manor theme park via the A4091.

Zone B

Connects to: A5 Watling Street and the A38 at Weeford Island

Destinations: Weeford, Tamworth, Lichfield, Burton upon Trent

Directions: join northbound and southbound; leave northbound and southbound

Junction T5 (Shenstone)

Zone B

Connects to: A5127 and A5148 off the A5 Watling Street

Destinations: Shenstone, Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, Brownhills

Directions: join northbound only; leave southbound only

The closest junction to Lichfield city centre via the A5127. One direction each way only: you can join heading north and leave heading south, and nothing else.

Junction T6 (Burntwood)

Zone B

Connects to: A5195, for the A5 and the B5011

Destinations: Burntwood, Chasetown, Brownhills, Cannock

Directions: join northbound and southbound; leave northbound and southbound

The last junction inside Zone B. Norton Canes services sit further west, on the mainline between T6 and T7, and are reached from the road itself rather than from this junction.

Junction T7 (Churchbridge)

Zone C

Connects to: A5 and A34 at Churchbridge, for Great Wyrley and Bridgtown

Destinations: Cannock, Great Wyrley, Walsall

Directions: join southbound only; leave northbound only

The first junction in Zone C, reached northbound just after the Great Wyrley mainline plaza. Northbound traffic can leave here; southbound traffic can join here.

Junction T8 (M6 J11a)

Zone C

Connects to: M6 J11a, plus the A460 and A4601 at Laney Green

Destinations: Cannock, Wolverhampton, Stafford and the M6 north

Directions: join southbound only; leave northbound only

The northern terminus, where the road rejoins the free M6 at J11a towards Stafford and the north.

Toll plaza locations

Southbound

Weeford Park plaza

Between T4 and T3, near Weeford

The mainline plaza for traffic heading south towards T3 and the M6 and M42.

Northbound

Great Wyrley plaza

Between T6 and T7, west of Norton Canes services

The mainline plaza for traffic heading north towards T7, T8 and M6 J11a. The Zone B to Zone C boundary runs through here.

Four junctions also have their own toll stations, at T3, T4, T5 and T6. Plaza throughput is high: 30 mph through the area, with separate lanes for account holders and contactless payers. Most drivers clear the plaza in under 30 seconds.

Junction FAQ

How many junctions does the M6 Toll have?

Eight, numbered T1 to T8 from south to north. T1 (Dunton) is at the southern end where the road meets the M42 at J9, and T8 rejoins the free M6 at J11a near Cannock. T1 and T2 sit in Zone A, T3 to T6 in Zone B, and T7 and T8 in Zone C. Not every junction works in both directions: T2 is exit-only southbound, T5 is join-northbound and leave-southbound only, and T7 and T8 are join-southbound and leave-northbound only. Check the movement you need before you travel.

Which junction do I need for the NEC and Birmingham Airport?

Use T1 (Dunton) at the southern end of the M6 Toll. T1 connects directly to the M42 at J9, which is the standard route for the NEC and Birmingham Airport.

Which junction is closest to Tamworth?

Junction T3 (Langley Mill). T3 is on the A38 and is also the easiest exit for Drayton Manor theme park, around six miles east via the A4091. T4 (Weeford) is the alternative if you want the A5 into Tamworth instead.

Which junction do I use for Lichfield?

T5 (Shenstone) on the A5127 is the closest junction to Lichfield city centre, but it is a southbound exit only, so it works on the way down and not on the way up. Northbound drivers use T4 (Weeford), where the A38 runs north into Lichfield and Burton.

Which M6 Toll junction is closest to Cannock?

T7 (Churchbridge), where the road meets the A5 and A34, though it is a northbound exit only. T8 at M6 J11a serves the Cannock and Wolverhampton side via the A460, and T6 (Burntwood) reaches the Cannock area from the east via the A5195 and the A5.

Which junction is Norton Canes services at?

None of them. Norton Canes services sit on the mainline between T6 (Burntwood) and T7 (Churchbridge), in Zone B, and are reached from the road itself rather than from a junction slip road. Both carriageways use the same site.

Where is the toll plaza?

There are two mainline plazas. Northbound traffic pays at the Great Wyrley plaza between T6 and T7, west of Norton Canes services. Southbound traffic pays at the Weeford Park plaza between T4 and T3. Four junctions also have their own toll stations: T3, T4, T5 and T6.

What is the speed limit on the M6 Toll?

70 mph on the open motorway, dropping to 30 mph through the toll plaza area. ANPR cameras are present for tolling. Police patrols enforce speed limits, just like any other UK motorway.

Are there speed cameras on the M6 Toll?

There are no fixed average-speed enforcement cameras on the M6 Toll itself. ANPR cameras read number plates for tolling and account billing. Police patrols use mobile speed enforcement, the same as the rest of the M6 corridor.
