Mandate wheelchair-accessible emergency safety zones in motorway barriers

Current motorway guidance (“Go Left, Get Safe”) instructs drivers to exit their vehicles and wait behind the barrier, but standard steel and concrete barriers are impossible for paraplegic and wheelchair‑using drivers to cross. On motorways without a hard shoulder, this leaves disabled motorists trapped in live lanes or narrow refuge areas. Installing accessible rear‑opening gates or roll‑through alcoves at intervals would provide a safe, equal escape route for all.
