New concerns have been raised
People whose lives have been impacted by smart motorways claim that new refuge areas installed on the M1 are 'not enough' after new that more will be installed on the M1.
The 43-year-old was driving on the northbound carriageway near J24a - where there is no hard shoulder - when she noticed she had a flat tyre. Ms Borges moved to the left lane and drove at 10 miles an hour for around two minutes - with her hazard lights on. At the time of the crash, traffic was stopped on the northbound carriageway between J24a and J25 for Nottingham just before 7.30am. In a statement at the time, traffic monitoring website Inrix said two lanes were closed after a collision involving a car and lorry.
She said: "I do not think they are looking from the driver's side or the emergency services' side. It is good to have a hard shoulder when there is an emergency." In Nottinghamshire, the M1 J23A-24 and J25-28 is a controlled motorway with a hard shoulder. The section between junctions 24 and 25 is all-lane running smart motorway and has seven emergency areas, with a place to stop in an emergency every 1.06 miles on average.
