Delayed Safety Revolution!

UK’s tech failures on smart motorways halt safety progress, risking lives! The UK's National Highways is likely to miss crucial safety targets due to technology failures on smart motorways. An Office of Rail and Road report reveals persistent issues, like a 28-day outage on the M62 safety systems. Despite traffic up by 2.2% in 2023, road casualties must drastically drop by 2025, a target deemed "improbable." Figures show smart motorways might not be so "smart," with rising casualty rates and failing detection systems. It's another saga of tech overreach with tragic consequences!
