Clink the link, then click on the area that you want to know about, then you can click onto either the roadworks icon, which will tell you all about that particular stretch of roadworks, or click on the little sign icons, this will show you exactly what that sign is displaying right now.

 

And you can zoom in on a particular stretch of road.

Not particularly accurate. I checked all the alerts around the M25 and not one of them said anything about Fog. You can guarantee that any time of the year and at any time of day, there will always be an overhead gantry from Junction 6 to 10 warning of Fog p:

 

For some reason, that section always seems to be to pot. The amount of times it warns of queues, moves everyone over to a single lane and then announces national speed limit again when there's nothing there is ridiculous.

 

Anyone have any idea why this is?

The problem is, all the signs are computer controlled, each one has an "internet site" for want of a better explanation, and like anything computer driven, it crashes! as they only show "Fog" then they are less of a priority than a sign that's showing a lane closure or similar, and therefore it can take a while before the engineer gets to it.

We have a few around the NW that are "stuck on" also plenty that are inoperable, these obviously take priority (you can guarantee that the ones you need to set for an incident are faulty!)

Cool :rolleyes: Would be nice to see the camera images put on the internet as webcams as well, maybe in the future perhaps.

 

You can see some at www.keepmoving.co.uk - click on CCTV on the menus at the top and then select your area and you can pick cameras to view.
