Motorway designers are being urged to significantly improve safety measures following a 30 per cent surge in reported wrong-way driving incidents across England’s road network over the past four years.
The RAC Foundation issued the stark warning after National Highways figures revealed 947 incidents involving "oncoming vehicles" were reported on motorways in the 12 months leading up to 11 May. This marks a substantial increase from the 729 incidents recorded during the same period four years prior, equating to an average of 18 such occurrences every week.
