Slough, Berkshire, UK. 4th May, 2021. Unsightly new metal fencing is being put up along the footpath across the M4. The M4 is being upgraded to a Smart Motorway with All-Lane-Running (ALR).

Recent statistics have shown that the death rate on Smart Motorways during 2019 were 8% higher than on conventional motorways that still have a hard shoulder as opposed to ocassional refuge areas on the ALRs.
