I have one question which is a hobby horse of mine. There are miles of wire barriers on the central reservations of motorways in this country whereas they have been retired from motorways in other countries in the European Union and in the United Arab Emirates. Other countries felt they were not adequate to stop a heavy goods vehicle from traversing the central reservation onto oncoming traffic on the other side. Would Mr. Kallas care to comment as to their adequacy? I get concerned when I see them being retired from motorways in other countries.
