RAC Urges Reinstatement of Hard Shoulders on Smart Motorways for Improved Safety

In a bid to enhance safety measures on smart motorways across the South East, plans are underway to install 52 new emergency areas, providing vital stopping points for drivers in case of emergencies.

These emergency areas, to be situated on the M25 and other smart motorways in the region, aim to address concerns raised by drivers regarding the absence of permanent hard shoulders on certain stretches of motorways.
