VIA 62 Are there any plans to put a search restriction "Avoid Smart Motorways"

Currently you can plan your route avoiding motorways. Are there any plans to put in a flag "Avoid Smart Motorways". Ever since they were introduced they have scared me. I would rather sit in traffic or use A roads than use a smart motorway.

Unlikely, but I can understand your concerns (I saw the Panorama documentary too).

Hi

I was amazed when it was stated that the average time between a Vehicle Breakdown or Crash before the signs changing to close the lane was 17 Minutes.... Think what can happen in 17 seconds never mind 17 Minutes
