Zorluk: OrtaSmart Motorways and Active Traffic Management

After safely stopping in an emergency area (EA) on an all-lane running smart motorway to check your vehicle, you are ready to continue driving. What must you do before attempting to rejoin the live carriageway?

  1. A
    Accelerate briskly within the emergency area and merge directly into lane one when you spot a gap
  2. Use the roadside emergency telephone in the refuge area to contact the regional control centreCevap
  3. C
    Switch on your hazard warning lights and drive along the grass verge until you match the speed of moving traffic
  4. D
    Wait for an approaching vehicle in the leftmost lane to flash its headlights to give you priority to pull out

Cevap

Use the roadside emergency telephone in the refuge area to contact the regional control centre
On smart motorways where the hard shoulder has been converted to a live running lane, emergency areas have limited length and do not offer a full acceleration lane. Under the Highway Code, you must use the emergency roadside telephone to inform the regional control centre. The operators will set overhead gantry signs (such as variable speed limits or a Red X closure on lane one) to create a safe opening for you to merge back onto the motorway.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Locate and use the SOS roadside emergency telephone provided inside the emergency area
Direct communication established with the National Highways regional control centre
Emergency areas have short bays and lack dedicated acceleration lanes, making unassisted rejoining dangerous alongside live high-speed traffic
2
Await instructions while operators adjust gantry electronic signals and lane indicators
A Red X or reduced speed limit is activated above the leftmost lane behind your position
This creates a protected space and safe opening in traffic flow for your vehicle to accelerate and merge safely
