M-way lights will go dark for travellers
Scottish Daily Express
|May 14, 2025
DRIVERS in England will be left in the dark when more than 140 miles of motorway lights are switched off to cut carbon emissions.
Highways England admitted it will be rolling out a trial, with the hope of making it permanent.
It comes after a previous light switch-off programme from midnight to 5am was cancelled in 2019 because of a rise in accidents.
During the trial period the number of casualties are compared to figures from the previous five years and if the assessment passes the lights will be removed forever.
