The next PM may get rid of smart motorways. We examine the different types and concerns about them
The Department for Transport will not start to convert any more motorways to smart roads until at least 2025, when five years’ of safety data for all schemes introduced before 2020 will be available.
Smart motorways have either no physical hard shoulder or a hard shoulder that can be used as a live lane during peak traffic hours, in order to improve traffic flow. Although they have Emergency Refuge Areas , which cars that suffer a breakdown can pull into, these are a long way apart and can be blocked by lorries and other vehicles using them to take a break. The consequence is that vehicles that break down can be stranded in live traffic lanes.
Eighty-four per cent of drivers surveyed by the RAC felt that the hard shoulder was important in breakdown and accident situations and 82% said they would feel “very concerned” if they broke down in lane one – formerly the hard shoulder – of an all-lane running section of motorway.
