TV presenter Ortis Deley stars in new road safety campaign

TV presenters Suzi Perry and Ortis Deley describe how signs and signals give motorists information about the road ahead, including possible obstructions in the road. They also talk about technology being rolled out across the country to detect vehicles that have stopped in live traffic lanes.

They explain what to do in an emergency and also describe Red X signs, emergency areas, how all lane running sections of motorway operate and the use of variable speed limits to reduce congestion.

Videos and clips of Suzi and Ortis are being posted on the Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn channels of National Highways, providing information on how a smart motorway works as an overall system and how to drive safely on a smart motorway.

Aston spoke to TV presenter Ortis Deley and Mel Clarke, National Highways director of customer service.
