Re: Smart motorways
The Telegraph has an article, today, "Scandal of deaths on the smart motorway network".
They reveal that 38 people have died, on the new roads, in the past 5 years.
They are quoting these numbers from a parliamentary report!
They say that the high-tech radar system, used to detect breakdowns more quickly, is only in place on 25 of the 400 miles.
Apparently drivers drivers who break down are waiting an average of 17 minutes to be spotted and another 17 minutes to be rescued.
