The UK's motorway network is currently undergoing a major expansion and improvement program to build the next generation of highway travel throughout the UK. This expansion program includes the widening of several key areas of motorway along with safety enhancements such as new concrete central reservations and traffic spacing chevron schemes.

As part of these works the UK highways agency has specified that during all major construction the work areas should be monitored by CCTV systems for the pur-poses of safety for both the construction workers as well as road users.
