Stop this….. you’ll start panic buying of cameras just in case we might run out!
An update to this thread, the Transport Select Committee, a cross-party group of MPs, is urging the Government to stop the rollout of "Smart" motorways until the safety issues can be properly addressed.They want no more motorways "upgraded" until they have five years of safety data from the existing ones and they have called for Emergency Refuge areas to be retrofitted to existing smart motorways at a maximum of one mile apart.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/smart-motorways-uk-government-mps-b1949163.html
How many brain cells does it need to calculate that a 5 mile tailback with 3 lanes will obviously be shorter if theres 4 lanes to fill up instead?
What they failed to remember was that cars and trucks breakdown regularly and are not always able to travel the extra 0.5 or 1 mile needed to get to a refuge.
before, they were on the hard shoulder and more or less out of harms way
The hard shoulder was removed as it is cheaper than building a whole new lane.
Isn't that the same a saying "we're not going to do anything about this for at least 5 years"?
