Zorluk: OrtaSmart Motorways and Active Traffic Management

While travelling along an all-lane running smart motorway, your engine warning light comes on, and you are able to pull safely into an emergency area (EA). In what order should you carry out the following actions to secure your vehicle and request assistance?

  1. 1Stop the vehicle as far forward and as far to the left of the emergency area as possible.
  2. 2Switch on your vehicle's hazard warning lights.
  3. 3Exit the vehicle via the left-hand passenger doors and move behind the safety barrier.
  4. 4Use the free roadside emergency telephone provided in the area to contact National Highways.

Cevap

The correct sequence is: (1) Stop the vehicle as far forward and as far to the left of the emergency area as possible, (2) Switch on your vehicle's hazard warning lights, (3) Exit the vehicle via the left-hand passenger doors and move behind the safety barrier, and (4) Use the free roadside emergency telephone provided in the area to contact National Highways.
Under Highway Code Rule 277, the safest sequence upon reaching an emergency area is to position the vehicle safely to the far left and forward, illuminate hazard warning lights, immediately evacuate all occupants through the passenger-side doors behind the safety barrier, and only then use the integrated SOS telephone to summon assistance.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Bring the vehicle to a halt positioned well forward and close to the left boundary of the emergency bay.
The car is safely clear of the live carriageway with space preserved around it.
Highway Code Rule 277 requires parking as far left as feasible to maximise separation from live traffic.
2
Activate the vehicle hazard warning lights before turning off the engine.
The vehicle is highly visible to smart motorway surveillance cameras and approaching road users.
Immediate visibility helps operators identify the incident and set overhead gantry warnings if necessary.
3
Ensure all occupants alight strictly through the nearside (left) doors and step over the safety barrier onto the verge.
Occupants are positioned in a protected zone shielded by the crash barrier.
Exiting onto the right side risks stepping into live high-speed traffic, whereas staying in the vehicle carries high collision risk.
4
Walk safely along the verge to the emergency roadside phone box inside the refuge area to alert the control centre.
National Highways is notified with precise GPS location telemetry to coordinate recovery and manage traffic.
The roadside phone pinpointing your location is the official method to initiate smart motorway safety protocols.
