Stop all smart motorways and re-instate all hard shoulders
Closed

What the petition asks
We want all motorways to have hard shoulders and safety refuge areas. The Government should abolish smart motorways, as we believe they are not safe.
We think re-instating hard shoulders will help protect all motorway users and could also assist emergency services to get to an accident, breakdown or emergency sooner.
