Nothing short of giving back the hard shoulder in every single instance will be acceptable. The coroners inquest into Mercers death found that the lack of a hard shoulder was a factor, and that such motorways presented an ongoing risk of future deaths. But some families of victims dismissed the measures and, joined by Labour, demanded hard shoulders be reinstated. One of the few happy accidents of the spring lockdown was that wildflowers were able to bloom on roadsides as the pandemic forced maintenance teams to stay at home. Theyll be a lot more natural looking. Fourteen people were killed in 2019 on motorways where the hard shoulder was either permanently removed or being temporarily used as a live running lane, according to Sunday Times analysis.
