M1 has various areas of managed mway; a stretch around Milton Keynes, Nottingham up to Chesterfield, plus plans near Sheffield, and up at J39-42 as per the Highways agency website. WillDow (Talk) 16:02, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
This article seems to confuse managed motorways which employ the use of Active Traffic Management (ie. Hard Shoulder Running) with controlled motorways which AFAIK is a term used by the highways agency to refer to the usage of (enforced) variable speed limits. I have removed some examples of motorways which are not currently using active traffic management. FM [ talk to me | show contributions ] 23:33, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Smart Motorways → Smart motorway – not a proper name --Relisted. Dekimasu よ! 05:43, 8 December 2014 (UTC) – 81.141.58.17 ( talk) 08:30, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
I have converted the schemes into a sortable table, allowing people to organise the information for their purposes, which might be to see what is in operation today, or everything that relates to a particuilar motorway, or a type of scheme. This format has the benefit that we can add 'type' information for planned schemes. I have been pretty careful to keep all the references intact as I did this work.

Aside from a couple of fairly inconsequential mentions of other countries, the current article is clearly only about the use and criticism etc. of smart motorways in the United Kingdom. Would it not make sense to move this article to something like "Smart motorways in the United Kingdom" and create a stub "Smart motorway" article for other uses globally?

We can read that there are smart motorways in England and intelligent transport systems in Scotland.
In contrast, in Europe intelligent transport systems (ITS) are used in connected motorways or autoroute connectée in French. There motorways are wirelessly connected in the way they might communicate with connected vehicle.
However, the terminology is not defined in this article. Could we add such a section to specify the specificity of each term?
For instance, in Europe, the DIRECTIVE 2010/40/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 7 July 2010 on the framework for the deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems in the field of road transport and for interfaces with other modes of transport considers that: "Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are advanced applications which without embodying intelligence as such aim to provide innovative services relating to different modes of transport and traffic management and enable various users to be better informed and make safer, more coordinated and ‘smarter’ use of transport networks." According to this directive, "Intelligent Transport Systems" or ‘ITS’ "means systems in which information and communication technologies are applied in the field of road transport, including infrastructure, vehicles and users, and in traffic management and mobility management, as well as for interfaces with other modes of transport".
Also, 29 countries of Europe (European Union and EEA) are developpig sites of connected and automated driving on European motorways in the form of cross-border corridors. https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/cross-border-corridors-connected-and-automated-mobility-cam — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.136.216.31 ( talk) 20:57, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
