Doesn't sound like a bad idea, need a rule/system like that for the UK death trap smart motorways.

If I read the article correctly it also sends out a signal alerting emergency services which seems alot better than walking along a hard shoulder in the rain/dark/hot sun seeking an emergency telephone if you can't get a signal on your mobile
. Also you may not know your location
