NLEX Corp. installs more CCTV cameras, messages boards

In its bid to enhance its traffic monitoring capabilities, the tollway operator of the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), and NLEX Connector installed 12 more closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras.

The recent installation of the new equipment raised the total number of operating CCTV cameras along the aforementioned thoroughfare to 163.

In addition, the toll operator shared that it has also put up three variable message signs (VMS) at the newly-opened NLEX Connector Caloocan to España section. The total number of message boards (useful in disseminating real time traffic information and safety reminders) in the whole stretch of expressway network is now 31.

“As we expand our roads, we remain devoted to providing safe and convenient travel experience to the public by boosting our systems in traffic management. These additional cameras and message boards reinforce our main goal of providing safe and hassle-free mobility in all our expressways,” NLEX Corporation President Luigi Bautista said.

Per NLEX Corporation, the CCTV cameras are placed at strategic locations along the carriageways and toll plazas to support the traffic and security teams in monitoring and managing the real-time situation within the vicinity.

Manning the aforementioned cameras round-the-clock are traffic control specialists at the Traffic Control Center (TCR) to provide real-time traffic updates in key areas. To note, the control center features the expressways’ central traffic management system to help manage the traffic and allow the assigned personnel to deploy patrol crews and emergency response teams during incidents.

“We have always been committed in providing all-day and all-night assistance and services to the motoring public,” Bautista noted, adding that, the tollway company has provided continuous services even during the peak of COVID-19 pandemic and has maintained the 24/7 toll operation and technical support in its commitment to provide accessible and reliable roads to the public at all times.

Further, Bautista shared that most of the service facilities along the expressway are up 24 hours to serve as rest and refuel areas and the company’s customer service hotline as well as its social media pages remain active to respond to customer queries.
