Make motorway bridges safer for the vulnerable and also motorists
Make motorway bridges safer by putting metal covers on them to protect vulnerable people and also protect motorists. There have sadly been cases of loss of life and also objects being thrown from motorway bridges which could also result in fatal incidents for drivers using the motorway.
People have ended their life by jumping off motorway bridges, maybe this would slowdown their intention and they may seek help and would stop them from ending their life this way and also protect motorists, as this would be an awful situation for anyone directly involved. Also objects have been thrown from motorway bridges, which can also cause a catastrophic event.
