All lane running inquiry

Inquiry

The Transport Committee publishes a report, warning that the Government should not proceed with 'all lane running' schemes while major safety concerns exist.

Government Response

Several "all-lane running" motorway schemes in sections of the M1, M4, M5, M6, M42 and M62 are in operation either as part of a managed motorway or with the hard shoulder used as a full-time running lane. Use of all-lane running looks set to expand and the Transport Committee evaluates the evidence generated to date and gathers information on the experiences of road users.
