Hard shoulders should be 復帰させるd on smart motorways, the RAC has said.

The モーターing group 問題／発行するd the 嘆願 to 大臣s a year after Rishi Sunak cancelled all 未来 planned smart motorway 事業／計画（する）s, 特記する／引用するing 財政上の 圧力s and a 欠如（する） of public 信用／信任 in the roads.

The first stretch of all-小道／航路 running (ALR) smart motorway ? using the hard shoulder as a 永久の live traffic 小道／航路 ? opened on the M25 in Hertfordshire ten years ago.

ALR smart motorways 目的（とする） to 増加する capacity at a lower cost than 広げるing roads.

But there have been long-standing safety 関心s after 致命的な 出来事/事件s in which 乗り物s stopped in live 小道／航路s were 攻撃する，衝突する from behind.?

AA: Don't let young new drivers carry their friends?

Young drivers should be banned from carrying 乗客s of a 類似の age for at least six months after passing their 実験（する）, the AA has told the 政府.

It wants a 卒業生（する）d licence 計画／陰謀 introduced as a safety 手段 to 削減（する） 'needless deaths' 伴う／関わるing inexperienced drivers.

示唆するd 対策 含む new drivers 存在 要求するd to keep a 記録，記録的な／記録する showing they have driven on all types of roads.?

制限s would be put on drivers for a 始める，決める period after passing their 実験（する）.

Edmund King, the AA 大統領，／社長, said: 'One in five young drivers 衝突，墜落 within a year of passing their 実験（する）.?

RAC 長，率いる of 政策 Simon Williams said: 'While 先触れ（する）d as a cost-効果的な way of 増加するing capacity on some of our busier roads, a colossal 量 of public money has since gone into trying to make them safer ? by 任命する／導入するing レーダ-based 科学（工学）技術 to （悪事，秘密などを）発見する stricken 乗り物s, 加える the 創造 of more 緊急 避難 areas.?

'The 政府 should either 変える 存在するing ALR smart motorways to dynamic ones ? where the hard shoulder is only opened to traffic during busy periods ? or repaint the white line and 再提出する a 永久の hard shoulder.'

It follows a 国家の 主要道路s 報告（する）／憶測 published in December that 設立する smart motorways without a hard shoulder were three times more dangerous to break 負かす／撃墜する on than those with an 緊急 小道／航路.

The 熟考する／考慮する also showed that the 率 of 'killed and serious 傷害' (KSI) 出来事/事件s during 決裂／故障s on smart motorways with no 永久の hard shoulder has 増加するd by 10 per cent.

KSI 悲劇s 増加するd for three out of five 計画／陰謀s since having their hard shoulder 除去するd.?

These were the M1 junctions 39 to 42, M25 junctions 5 to 7 and M6 junctions 11A to 13.

In April last year Mr Sunak 発表するd he was 停止（させる）ing new smart motorways from 存在 built.

But he stopped short of scrapping more than 400 miles of 存在するing 計画／陰謀s which have their hard shoulder 永久的に 除去するd.

A Department for 輸送（する） 広報担当者 said: 'We recognise the need for the public to feel 安全な 運動ing, and have cancelled 計画（する）s for all new smart motorway 計画／陰謀s.'
