(asked on 16th January 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when the reflective studs on the M5 were last renewed.
This question was answered on 24th January 2020
Highways England have a rolling programme of asset renewal, with reflective studs typically being replaced every 3-5 years. Highways Inspectors also carry out frequent inspections of the whole M5 carriageway and will assess and record any defects found.
Where studs are missing or damaged, Highways England arrange for their replacement as part of scheduled work schemes. In mid January 2020 overnight works took place on the M5 southbound carriageway between 11A and 12. 1446 studs were replaced.
