UK manufacturer of CCTV transmission systems, AMG, has completed the supply of a range of hybrid transmission systems for 7692 P&D Specialist Services for the M1, M3, M60 and M62 motorways to ensure safe traffic flow during roadworks.

A total of 329 cameras has been installed over 99 kilometres of the motorways, including a 35 kilometre stretch of the M60/M62 as part of the Manchester smart motorways scheme.

A new project to introduce a stretch of managed motorway on a 23 kilometre section of the M1 between Junctions 32-35a commenced in April 2015. This is intended to relieve congestion by using the hard shoulder as a running lane and using technology to vary the mandatory speed limits. Starting with 30 cameras, the M1 CCTV roadworks solution will grow to 60 cameras, over the project period.
