The i reports on the growing pressure to scrap smart motorways amid rising deaths linked to the roads and concerns over their cost.

For a second day running, the i newspaper’s lead story is about the reported ban on new smart motorways, and the mounting pressure to scrap the entire network across Britain amid safety concerns. The paper reported on Thursday that none of the planned new roads would go ahead. 

Its Good Friday edition turns its attention to the families of some of those who have died on the roads. “It’s the existing smart motorways that are killing us,” a widow of a man who died on the M1 tells the paper.
