  9. Safety on the M1 junctions 31-26

    The number of accidents on the M1 between junctions 31 and 26 before and after the installation of speed cameras (broken down by junction sections) for an equal time frame prior to their install to match that since their installation.

    I want to see how the cameras at justified to reduce accidents and if any other changes have occurred to this part of the M1.

    I am also asking for the details of how the signage is complaint with the Highway rules but unclear how this is from you but this is whom I was told to ask.

    Clarification received:

    These would be the cameras in use in February this year as part of the usual day to day operations around the ‘smart’ motorway changing speeds.

    Clarification recieved:

    For point 1, from the date received is great and for point 2 I’m looking for information on road works that closes a section of motorway for over 5 days, so not daily routine maintenance but more long term road disruption.

    Original request:

    I am writing to make a formal request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I would like to request the following information:

    1. What percentage of the UK's highways is currently under maintenance, including but not limited to roadworks, resurfacing, or other related activities?

    2. Which company have been given the contracts to carry out this work and the tender procedure which has been followed.

    Please provide the data as recent as possible, along with any relevant explanations regarding how this percentage is calculated (e.g., total miles of highway under maintenance as a proportion of total highway length).
