Closed Require additional safety features on motorway bridges

Closed on

Place cages or higher barriers over bridges in order to protect pedestrians when travelling over motorways and reduces the potential for suicides.

Over the last few months, there have been incidents of pedestrians falling off bridges onto motorways, and ultimately has cost people their lives.

These safety features proposed have already been put into place in certain areas, and therefore there is no real reason why they shouldn’t be in place around the country to protect vulnerable people when travelling over bridges in dangerous areas
