National Highways responds to a coroner's report after the death of a passenger on the M1 in 2018.
A coroner warned of a risk of future deaths after the crash in which David Levett was seriously injured in 2018National Highways said it remained "committed to continuing to improve safety" in response to a coroner's report into a "smart motorway" death.
Coroner Anne Pember warned of a risk of future deaths because the smart motorway had all lanes open to traffic.Smart motorways are a stretch of road where technology is used to regulate traffic flow and ease congestion, using the hard shoulder as an extra lane for traffic. Sheena Hague, National Highways' director of road safety, said "work to enhance existing smart motorways continues".Smart motorways contain emergency bays give cars space to pull off the road when there's no hard shoulder
A "radar-based stopped vehicle detection system" was also installed on the southbound M1 near Daventry in August 2022, she said, more than four years after the fatal crash.
