Government make U-turn on traffic reducing initiative plans for Britain's major motorway
ACCORDING TO the Campaign for Better Transport, plans for the first car-share lane on the M1 have been scrapped.
The initiative, which would have operated from junction 7, St Albans, Hertfordshire to junction 10, Luton, Bedfordshire has been dropped by the Department for Transport because it's "not the right solution for this location".
The U-turn contradicts the country's first motorway car-sharing lane, which opened on Thursday in West Yorkshire.
The Campaign for Better Transport has accused officials of "burying" the decision not to open a similar lane for the M1 in a report published earlier this month.
