​​Assessing National Highways' evaluation of its smart motorways action plan​

The successful consultants will undertake a review of National Highways' approach to monitoring and evaluating the impact of the smart motorway action plan and consider initial results from this work.

ORR will use the findings to inform our assessment of National Highways' progress in evaluating the impact of the smart motorway action plan. In particular, whether the company's approach continues to follow best practice. We will report our conclusions in our next annual assessment of safety performance on the strategic road network, due to be published in February 2025.
