M4 J6 to J12

Reported via mobile in the Not working (NH) category anonymously at 23:01, Wed 18 October 2023

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5111915.

I work in Slough J6 and live by J12, tonight when I left work, 6.30pm, it was raining and dark there were no lights on the motorway at all, for most of my journey. There used to be lights, J6 to 8/9 and then from 10 to 12 but tonight, nothing. This makes driving far more hazardous, because you can see even less, than normal and it's a new 'smart' motorway so dangerous at the best of times Why are there no lights on??
