Dorney, Buckinghamshire, UK. 14th January, 2022. Traffic was queuing Westbound on the M4 at lunchtime today. There have been frequent accidents on the M4 whilst it is being upgraded to an All Lanes Running Digital Smart Motorway. There are narrow lanes and the hard shoulder has been removed but the new intermittent refuge areas are not in operation yet. 38 people have died on Smart Motorways in the past five years in the UK. The roll out of any new Smart Motorway upgrades in the UK is currently on hold pending a safety review. Credit: Maureen McLean/Alamy Live News
