Anxiety among UK drivers on smart motorways nearly doubled since 2024 due to safety fears, with 46% fearing breakdowns on roads without hard shoulders.
A new AA survey shows anxiety among UK drivers on smart motorways has nearly doubled since 2024, with 46% reporting fear on roads without hard shoulders, up from 23%, and 47% on those with temporary hard shoulders.
The rise is linked to safety concerns over breakdown risks, emergency access, and technology failures, amid 79 deaths tied to smart motorways since 2010.
Despite government claims of safety, public distrust grows over delayed safety reviews and the retention of existing smart motorways after the 2023 construction halt.
Advocates demand reinstating hard shoulders and releasing long-delayed assessments.
