Many drivers are unaware of proper procedure when it comes to smart motorways, a study conducted by the RAC of more than 2,000 motorists has revealed.

Smart motorways are becoming more common in the UK, with large stretches of major routes being upgraded to the new specifications. A total of £3 billion has been invested in the upgrade, with more than 472 additional lane miles of capacity already added.
