Last chance to submit evidence to smart motorway inquiry
Tomorrow is the deadline for contributions to an official inquiry by MPs into the benefits and dangers of smart motorways.
The Commons transport select committee is investigating a further rise in annual deaths, after claiming that public confidence in the roads is faltering. The inquiry was launched last month.
She said it is “vital that everyone whose lives have been affected in some way by these roads ensures they have their say”.
Mercer added: “The government and Highways England need to take notice and action. By contributing to this review you can help them do so. Jason and Alexandru are not alone in what happened to them; people continue to be killed or injured on smart motorways.
What is a smart motorway? Speed cameras, safety and hard shoulder use explained
Smart motorways are meant to be a cost-effective way of increasing road capacity, but they’ve made headlines for the wrong reasons
26 Feb 2021
Smart motorways use variable speed limits to control the flow of traffic and, in many cases, instruct drivers to use the hard shoulder as a live running lane. Breakdowns in live lanes have had tragic consequences, though, and the safety of smart motorways has now been called into question.
This criticism is mainly aimed at all-lane running (ALR) smart motorways, where every single lane - including the hard shoulder - is used by live traffic. When these were rolled out, they were not equipped with stopped vehicle detection (SVD) technology.
