The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made a recent assessment of the safety of vehicles queuing on the carriageway as they exit the motorway at junction 28 of the M1.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

National Highways is currently working on proposals to improve the junction to address congestion and safety issues as well as to support local growth. One of the main reasons for the proposed improvements to Junction 28 of the M1 is to improve safety risks and hazards related to traffic and congestion at the junction, particularly the queuing on the main carriageway which can occur during peak periods.
