Concerning Transport Select Committee Yesterday

The request was partially successful.

Charles J. Wilson

Dear Highways England Company Limited,

Breakdowns on the conventional motorway with a hard shoulder.

What proportion end up in a live lane rather than on the hard shoulder?
=======================================

Breakdowns on Smart Motorway without a hard shoulder.

What proportion End up in a live lane?

What proportion end up on what was a hard shoulder subject to a red X above the lane

What proportion end up at a refuge on an ALR

What is the average time to identify a breakdown

What is the average time for installing a red X

Why are you more likely to have live lane breakdown on an ALR because they are wider and have 4 lanes?

=======================================

All information about the spacing of refuges

=======================================

All information that 90% of all stops on a hard-shoulder are for non-emergency purposes

=======================================

All information about the failure to employ stopped vehicle detection at the start of Smart Motorway building

Yours faithfully,

Charles J. Wilson
