Remove M20 jnc 9-8 Operation Brock barrier

Closed 1,853 signatures

What the petition asks

Operation Brock was implemented to create space for parking lorries on the M20 between junction 9 and 8 in preparation for Brexit. By erecting a barrier to separate the London-bound carriageway into two opposing directions with two lanes each, the coast-bound carriageway can become a lorry park.
Despite Brexit being delayed until October, Operation Brock is still in force. There is a 50mph limit and no hard shoulder which means longer journeys and frequent delays due to broken down vehicles having nowhere to go. Operation Brock should be dismantled until October.
