England’s roads are amongst the safest in the world. Of the 1,522 fatalities on our roads in 2018, 86 were on the Strategic Road Network (SRN) motorway network, of which 19 were on the ‘smart motorway’ sections of the network. Across 2015-2018 there were on average 1,507 fatalities per year. Of these, 87 were on the SRN motorway network including 11 on the 'smart motorway' sections.
