Editing North West England (section)

====Lancashire====
The Lancashire economy relies strongly on the M6, which also runs from north to south (Lancaster to [[Chorley]]). Other motorways in the region include the [[M55 motorway|M55]], which connects the city of Preston and the town of Blackpool at {{cvt|11.5|mi|km}} in length. The [[M65 motorway]] runs from east to west, starting in the town of [[Colne]], running past [[Burnley]], [[Accrington]], [[Blackburn]] and terminating in Preston. The Lancaster-[[Morecambe]] area is served by the [[A683 road|A683]], [[A6 road (Great Britain)|A6]], [[A588 road|A588]] and A589 roads. The Blackpool-[[The Fylde|Fylde]]-[[Fleetwood]] area is home to the [[A583 road|A583]], [[A584 road|A584]], [[A585 road|A585]], [[A586 road|A586]], [[A587 road|A587]] and A588 roads. The city of Preston and its surroundings are served by the [[A6 road (Great Britain)|A6]], [[A59 road (Great Britain)|A59]], A582, A583, A584 and, to the very south-east, the [[M61 motorway]]. To the east of the county are the A59, A6119, A677, A679, A666, A680, A56, A646 and A682. The [[M66 motorway|M66]] begins {{cvt|500|m|mi|1}} inside the county border near [[Edenfield]], providing an important link between east Lancashire and Manchester.
