BBC2's 'Motorway' programme
Posted: Fri Sep 26, 2014 12:25 pm
Anyone been watching the BBC2 Secret Life of the Motorway series, which focuses on the various people working on the M6, from traffic police (with hi-viz chaplain), to HA control room staff, Traffic Officers, road workers etc.?
I understand it features in next Tuesday's programme the near-miss video which was collected by cameras I had installed onto a Traffic Office vehicle for a project, while it was attending an incident on the M6.

If you read the report you'll see the relevance of my comments in the 'managed motorways risk' thread.
Episode 1 of the series featured road workers trying to put signs on the central reservation, carrying them between passing HGVs. This is also something I've worked a lot on over the last few years, and which we're about to eliminate completely.
