Drivers are being urged to obey overhead smart motorway signs after a fire engine was held up on its way to an M1 crash involving a lorry and two cars.
On March 12, firefighters from Mereway fire station in Northampton were called to a collision close to Watford Gap southbound services, within the stretch of smart motorway where the hard shoulder has become a fourth driving lane.
Arrows were displayed on overhead signs to move traffic from the outside lane before it was closed with red Xs to create an emergency access lane, but many drivers failed to move over, reducing the fire engine’s progress to a crawl as it approached the scene.
Rob Green, Watch Manager of Mereway’s Red Watch, said: “Drivers were waiting until the last moment before moving out of lane four, which slowed us right down.
“We no longer have a hard shoulder to travel down this stretch of smart motorway, and it’s really important that people move over as soon as they see arrows or red Xs so we have an emergency access lane to get to where we’re needed as quickly as possible.”
