A controlled-access highway is a type of highway which has been designed for high-speed vehicular traffic, with all traffic flow and ingress/egress regulated. Common English terms are freeway (in the US), motorway (in the UK & Ireland) and expressway (in Canada and many Asian countries). Terms in other languages sometimes seen in English include Spanish: autopista or autovía (depending on whether it has toll or not), French: autoroute, German: Autobahn, or Italian: autostrada. Other similar terms include Interstate and parkway. They may also be called limited-access highways, although this term can also refer to a class of highway with somewhat less isolation from other traffic. Conversely, some of the United States use "controlled access" to describe a non-limited-access road, entrances to which are controlled by the state.
A controlled-access highway provides an unhindered flow of traffic, with no traffic signals, intersections or property access. They are free of any at-grade crossings with other roads, railways, or pedestrian paths, which are instead carried by overpasses and underpasses across the highway. Entrances and exits to the highway are provided at interchanges by slip roads (ramps), which allow for speed changes between the highway and arterial roads and collector roads. On the controlled-access highway, opposing directions of travel are generally separated by a median strip or central reservation containing a traffic barrier or grass. Elimination of the sources of potential conflicts with other directions of travelers dramatically improves safety, and capacity.
In West Yorkshire, five motorways and two major cities meet in one of the country's busiest intersections. Motorway cops Dave Robson and Phil Stonebanks come on duty to a type of call they always fear - an accident in a live lane of the motorway involving a two-year-old child. Dave and Phil close the motorway, and while the casualties are taken to hospital, the motorway cops begin their investigation - but it's fast approaching the evening rush hour, and time is not on their side. The motorways are often a good place to identify drivers who shouldn't be on the road. With help from their automatic number plate recognition camera, PCs Lindsey Pickles and Martin Willis spot an uninsured driver. When Martin approaches the car, to his surprise he finds a mum with three children, one of which ...
In Shaw Theatres 12 July 2012 (Thurs) - Sean is an overconfident rookie in Stealth Riders, a secret police unit consisting of the best drivers in the force that targets against underworld racing and fugitives on the run. Jensen is a legendary escape driver for criminals, who had never been caught before his retirement 15 years ago. When Sean chances upon Jensen out of the blue one day, he thinks his day has finally come. After an arduous car chase, Sean outmaneuvers Jensen and arrests him. While he is gloating over his triumph in the precinct, Jensen pulls off a prison break with another inmate. He has let Sean capture him deliberately. This humiliation draws Sean towards veteran cop Lo who almost lost his life years ago while chasing Jensen and has since sworn off the motorway. When a...
Part of the revolutionary LD System of learning to drive from LDC. This video shows the key points you need to learn in preparation for the driving lesson on Motorway Driving. These resources together with guidance from an expert LDC driving instructor provide one of the most effective and efficient ways to learn to drive and become a safe driver for life. Too many driving instructors focus too much attention on telling their pupils what to do and what to think! This approach only fosters dependency, doubt and blind obedience, such that once the test is passed they do all the things they were told not to do. The LDC approach is designed to foster self-reliance, confidence and responsibility resulting in safer drivers who learn to drive far more quickly and thoroughly. Unlike traditional ...

A southbound trip on the M1 Motorway, from the A50/A6 at junction 24 near Nottingham to Leicester Forest East Service Station. The M1 is one of the two backbone north-south motorways in the UK. The section from St Albans to Junction 18 had been the first intercity motorway in the UK when it opened in 1959. The first extension to the M1 up to junction 24 opened 6 years later in November 1965 and it is this section which features in the video.

Joining and leaving a UK motorway driving lesson http://www.driving-school-beckenham.c... This video will hopefully be useful if you're about to drive on a motorway for the first time and need some motorway tips or visiting from another country and plan on driving in the UK. A lot of drivers have never had any motorway driving lessons. You must pass your driving test before driving on a motorway as learner drivers are not allowed. Here is a full list of who MUST NOT use the motorway: Pedestrians Holders of provisional motorcycle or car licences Riders of motorcycles under 50 cc, cyclists Horse riders Certain slow-moving vehicles and those carrying oversized loads (except by special permission) Agricultural vehicles Powered wheelchairs/powered mobility scooters. In this video we have a ...
Uploaded by request, this is a complete anticlockwise lap of the M60 motorway around Manchester in real-time, filmed on a sunny Sunday afternoon in November 2011. The video begins and ends on the south side of Manchester near Cheadle. The M60 was constructed in stages. The first section to open was the Stretford and Eccles bypass which was originally numbered M62, later renumbered to M63. This section opened to traffic in October 1960 and was one of the first motorways to open in the UK. The next major milestone was the completion of the M62 to the North and West of Manchester, opening in 1971. By 1975, the M63 had been extended to Cheadle, and the M66 had been constructed down to Heaton Park. In 1982, Stockport was bypassed, and in 1989, a portion of the M66 was constructed, joining Sto...
The Motorway Cops help stop a stolen lorry on the rampage in the city centre. Elsewhere it's guile which catches people who are economical with the truth. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00sdhyn
Never lit a fire in your eyes
That's what he said to me
It should really come as no surprise
I bruise that easily
Can't stand living
So we wait for another day
I'll pull through
I know you can't stand me
But we're stuck here anyway
A motel room in nowhere Nevada
We're just lost on the motorway
I turn to you, you've got nothing to say
And we're just wasting days away
It's fifty miles to Reno
And we're staring at the desert
Never felt a pain that hurt too much
That's what you said to me
Lately it seems you've been out of touch
We both break so easily
Can't stand living
So we wait for another day
I'll pull through
I know you can't stand me
But we're stuck here anyway
A motel room in nowhere Nevada
We're just lost on the motorway
I turn to you, you've got nothing to say
And we're just wasting days away
Something is lost on the motorway
I guess our dreams sort of got in the way
And strung us along for another day
We'll kiss when we drop off the car in L.A.
