Abstract
The M42 Active Traffic Management project will introduce controlled use of the hard shoulder to the UK motorway. This paper describes some of the challenges encountered and solutions adopted in carrying out risk assessment on this project. These include the development of a methodology for demonstrating, in advance of opening the scheme, that the safety of the modified motorway will be equivalent to or better than that of the original.
The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors and are not necessarily those of Cambridge Consultants Ltd or the Highways Agency.
