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

Re: M6 junction 21a to 26 smart motorway
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.

Re: M6 junction 21a to 26 smart motorway
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.

Wigatoday could at least get a photo of a smart motorway - even better just nip to a local bridge and get this one under cpnstruction.

Smart motorways are fine, however they are not compatible with none too smart drivers

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