Closed petition Moratorium and review of "Smart Motorways" and associated works

No more "Smart motorway" roadworks should be started until all present works are completed.
Then a review of smart motorways should be established to investigate their impact on:
a) road safety
b) levels of road usage/traffic

More details

Driving up and down the M6, I am terrified that there's going to be a disaster. With no hard shoulder and suddenly have a family vehicle stop in front of you, stopping a 40t lorry doing 40-55mph is almost impossible. The worst are emergency laybys - too small for HGV's & breakdown vehicles and emergency response vehicle's unable to manoeuvre through traffic.

Roadworks at present need to be finished first, then a detailed review over a meaningful period of time to see just how safe and practical they are.
