As far as I'm aware there aren't any on the M4, thankfully, as travelling to Bristol Monday....

Oh cheers for that!
Hopefully not venturing too far - just off crown way to the hospital, so hopefully on the outskirts.

Most smart motorways 'not value for money' say reports
"Many smart motorways are currently failing to offer the value for money expected when they were originally planned, according to newly released reports from National Highways.
Two of the schemes, involving sections of the M25 and the M6, were found to be offering "very poor" value.
Just three out of a total of sixteen projects across England were on track to deliver the financial benefits expected, although in most cases they were delivering safety benefits in line with original forecasts National Highways said.
The AA, representing motorists, said the schemes had turned out to be a "catastrophic waste of time, money and effort"."
