Safety campaigners say plan does not go far enough and demand hard shoulders be reinstated
New smart motorways must have radar technology in place before they open to detect stopped vehicles, the government has announced, in a move some campaigners said did not go far enough to ensure motorists’ safety.
The transport secretary, Grant Shapps, said Britain’s existing smart motorways would now have the technology retrofitted by September 2022, six months earlier than originally promised.
