Smart motorways leverage today's smart technologies to ensure a smooth and safe journey for road users, monitoring live conditions to enable real-time response and reducing congestion in busy areas at peak times.
Strategic speed limit and lane availability variations can be used to maximise motorway performance, managing and promoting traffic flow via electronic signage and increasing capacity. Dedicated emergency stopping areas and contact points improve road safety and support incident management, reducing danger and disruption.
