The proximity to the road can mean there's not as much viable soil, so it can often be a drier site. Watering is most likely to be the problem. Important to keep on top of that though, especially heading into summer.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
It could also be a bit of frost damage. A house near here has had the same problem for the last couple of springs .... and it seemed to be after a late frost. The hedge soon recovered, so no harm done.
The advice about watering is still valid, but I can't help with the soaker hose query. Like @Fairygirl I'm also in Scotland .... even on the drier side of the country we seem to get enough rain when we need it!

I agree- there can certainly be a little bit of frost damage on new, young growth too. It won't harm the hedge long term though. They're tough old plants
