New section of M4 open with no technology, the government are instead placing a 60mph speed limit, until they get round to fitting the life saving equipment! HGV’s are already limited to 56mph and this still results in deaths, so a 60mph limit in place of tech will have absolutely no affect.
The government are “urgently reviewing”, “investigating” paying for select committees, promises improvements, etc, etc, etc While opening new smart motorways without the tech they promised would always be present from now on.
Grant Shapps National Highways & Boris Johnson don’t care about anything but the £billion contracts to private companies
