    MP’s demand smart motorway rollout to be stopped

    MPs want halt to smart motorway rollout over safety concerns - BBC News

    Finally. I completely agree with this. Smart motorways are a complete waste of tax payer money. What a dumb idea. Billions stuffed into pockets of private companies, its a scandal.

      I agree smart motorways are an expensive waste, as is HS2. Fix the none motorway network and stick an elevated Maglev railway down the centre of the M1 and M6 to improve transport options, and build Boris Island airport in the Thames estuary

              The problem with the motorways is that the left lane is full of slow-moving lorries and the next is full of lorries wanting to overtake their mate at 0.125 mph faster over the next five miles.

              Leaving only one lane for everyone else.

              Freight should go by rail.

                As seen on a lorry bumper sticker heading sarrf on the M6

                If you don't like lorries, don't buy stuff
                How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                  Soon to come with average speed checks and road pricing cameras

                    But as everyone is crawling along below 60 there is no reason not to drive in the first 2 as they are nice and clear and undertaking is fine in queuing traffic. The smart hard shoulder is great if your only jumping down one junction.
