Smart transportation infrastructure uses advanced technology, such as smart traffic lights and connected vehicles, to improve traffic flow and safety. Proponents argue that it enhances efficiency, reduces congestion, and improves safety through better technology. Opponents argue that it is costly, may face technical challenges, and requires significant maintenance and upgrades.

The Government should increase and improve existing services.
@9NM3C9S2 days2D
This depends on cost and whether it takes money away from more important issues, such as poverty, healthcare and education.
@9NJL3HB3 days3D
If you mean smart motorways then no.. i have never believed they are safe and still dont think they are a viable option.
@9NF9ZHD5 days5D
They should redo the whole train lines and make trains the same as the new Elizabeth line and better buses however the issue isn’t to do with smart infrastructure but rather the cost of things with TfL and transport being super expensive in the uk and on top ULEZ charges. Theres no point in wasting publics tax money to build these smart infrastructure when either way whether old or new transportation it’s equally costly.
@9MXFG7N2wks2W
Invest in maintenance of current infrastructure roads and improve rail and bus services
@9MWVX59Liberal Democrat2wks2W
Yes but ensure it is safe and will last a long time.
@9MW3F8J2wks2W
No, there are better areas to invest in such as public transport
@9MVX26Y2wks2W
No, it should invest in high quality and well subsidised public transportation
@9MT2LGJ 2wks2W
Yes but not at the moment when we have a deficit, there are more important things to spend money on
@9MPX63B2wks2W
Yes, but after a full review and with appropriate safety measures
@9MLRL6J3wks3W
Yes but not how it was done before, smart motorways
@9MLQGR43wks3W
What "Smart transportation infrastructure" is is very loosely defined, ranging from AI-powered speeding cameras to high speed rail
@ISIDEWITH3wks3W
Yes
Smart motorways are proving ineffective against broken down vehicles and emergencies. This could be improved with better monitoring, but it also requires drivers to pay more attention on the roads. The safest option is a hard shoulder which is only used in emergencies so a broken down vehicle is not in a live lane of traffic. Smart motorways are not updated effectively when a vehicle is removed causing congestion via speed limits which are no longer relevant.
