We're improving the 10-mile section of the M6 between junctions 21a and 26 by upgrading it to an 'all-lane running' smart motorway.

Start date January - March 2021 End date 2022-23 Cost £100 million - £250 million

We are told to exit a broken down car and stand behind the barrier and wait for help. Breaking down in a live lane and getting out of your car is madness

No new smart motorways without additional safety measures

No more smart motorways will open without additional safety measures in place, the government has said.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said any new road without a hard shoulder would need radar technology installed to detect stopped cars first.

Smart roads use measures to cut traffic such as opening the hard shoulder, but MPs have questioned their safety.

The plan comes after several fatal accidents and concerns about the safety of smart motorways.

Was on the M6 yesterday,car broken down in the roadworks on the opposite carriageway no hard shoulder or refuge.

A woman with two small children stood just behind the barrier next to a live lane.
A disaster waiting to happen I would say.

Smart motorway project on M6 in Wigan will continue as national rollout is paused

work will continue on stretches that are already in construction, which includes a project on the M6, between junction 21A at Croft interchange in Warrington and junction 26 at Orrell interchange.

You'd have to be mad not smart to drive on a smart motorway.
