‘Smart’ motorways: M1 upgrade near Sheffield to start with lane closure & 50mph limit. Just think how much money, & how many lives, would have been saved if they’d installed what was commissioned. Now we have to also suffer severe disruption 😡 thestar.co.uk/news/sheffield…

Spoke to @NickFerrariLBC on @LBC this morning about the proposed £10bn+ Lower Thames Crossing being a 'smart' motorway by stealth, if it goes ahead. Nothing smart about 'smart' motorways. @MotorwaysKill #NoLTC youtu.be/fAJtUefDD-c

Well, I’m having my first experience of smart motorway issues. Blown tyre in the fast lane. Very carefully limped my way to the refuge. Called the SOS phone and NOBODY ANSWERED. Tried twice. It rang and rang and rang, but no reply.

Today we @nottslive are calling for an end to all smart motorways - not just no new ones, but a reversal of the existing ones too. @OlimpiaZagnat spoke to families who've lost loved ones on smart motorways.
