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.
