Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what further steps his Department are taking to improve safety on all lane running smart motorways.
This question was answered on 19th December 2022
Overall, in terms of serious or fatal casualties, smart motorways are the safest roads on the Strategic Road Network. We want all drivers to feel safe and we have paused the rollout of smart motorways not already in construction while we collect more data. During the pause, we have committed £900m for safety improvements across the network including building more emergency areas.
