Documentary series which goes behind the scenes and on the roads with the characters who work on one of the most famous and busiest motorways in Britain, the M25. Working on the motorways is one of the most dangerous jobs in the UK, and Traffic Officers and Maintenance Crews are constantly in harm's way. Traffic Officers Steve and Grant are sent to attend a vehicle on fire, but the danger they face is out of the ordinary. A 90 tonne crane has exploded with its wheels flying into the central reservation, which means that they will have to shut the entire motorway while the fire brigade extinguish the blaze. Traffic Officers Sam and Phil attend a three-car accident, but while they are trying to remove the vehicles from the carriageway, a fully loaded 44 tonne truck speeds down the hard shoulder breaking the roadblock. Meanwhile, Jason and his maintenance team are cone-ing off a slip road and dealing with reckless high-speed drivers.

should be mandatory to watch one of these videos every year...

I am surprised to find out someone actually does monitor the M25 considering it is regarded as the biggest parking in the world.

These videos are interesting indeed to one who lives in Canada. The busiest road in North America, and one of the busiest in the world, is Highway 401 across the top of Toronto. At up to 16 lanes in 4 carriageways, over 2 million vehicles use the road daily. As an aside, Highway 401 which runs across Southern Ontario from the Border with the US at Windsor to the border with the Province of Quebec, is longer than the drive from Land's End to John O'Groats. Distance is measured very differently here, as is the traffic pattern. Very interesting. Unfortunately we do not have any official body like your Highways Department to pick up the slack. Police remain on scene until things get cleared. That greatly reduces the number of Police patrolling the roads.

hope the driver of the crane didnt suffer mentally or blame himself from that it usually happens to evvery lorry driver at least once in there career there just powerful engines and if somat goes wrong they carry lots oof fuel and huge tires

love these videos. i hope many more are coming, interesting to see what's happening behind the scenes :)

Goes to show that adding more cars and bigger roads just isn't working anymore. We need scalable infrastructure and transport.

Brilliant concept, these shows. It's like rubber-necking from the safety of your couch, while they sneak in terrifying information to hopefully wake us up!

So he crow bars out the strap and doesn’t pick up the two clumps of tarmac that come up with it? Ffs. I found that totally shocking 😮😡

I’ve broken down on the M25, engine had a sudden pressure loss and I was in far right lane. Put the hazard lights on, and drove over (at a speed of 30mph) to a hard shoulder like place right off of a slipramp going onto the road (downhill) as there was no hard shoulder. Let the car rest for 20 minutes and restarted it, had to drive at 55mph the rest of the way to the place I was going.

I really love to do your job.

RIP STEVE
