One in ten (11 per cent) believe that Emergency Roadside Telephone don’t exist anymore, even though there are still 8,551 in operation across the UK. Emergency Roadside Telephones are located for emergency use by the roadside, most commonly on motorways, and connect directly to traffic control centres or police control rooms.
