The Highways Agency does not hold this information. The Highways Agency records details of vehicle breakdowns in ‘live’ lanes. The number of vehicle breakdowns in live lanes within Smart Motorway sections in the last three years are as follows:-

2012 – 11,516

2013 – 11,154

2014 (up to and including November) – 9692
