Closed petition Keep the hard shoulder on Smart Motorways for emergency use only
Closed on
Stop the use of hard shoulders as live lanes on smart motorways
Using the hard shoulder of a Smart Motorway as a live lane puts road users at risk.
It gives stranded motorists no safe place to stop and prevents emergency services from reaching accidents.
Consider the risks presented by using a hard shoulder as a live lane against the significant risks.
