Cevap

The emergency roadside telephone located within the emergency area
Using the emergency roadside telephone inside the emergency area immediately connects you to the National Highways control centre. It informs operators of your exact location so they can set lane closures, variable speed limits, or dispatch a traffic officer patrol.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary safety communications equipment installed in smart motorway emergency areas.
Every emergency area is equipped with an emergency roadside telephone (SOS phone) connected directly to National Highways control centres.
This establishes immediate two-way communication and pinpoints your precise location without requiring mobile signal.
2
Evaluate prohibited and hazardous actions under Highway Code breakdown rules.
Deploying warning triangles or wandering along motorway verges are strictly forbidden due to high-speed traffic risks.
Rule 274 and Rule 275 of the Highway Code mandate remaining behind safety barriers and using designated emergency facilities.
