Traffic Control Room. The Traffic Control Room monitors traffic in the expressway. The Control Room can also receive calls from distressed motorists using the Customer Service Hotline of (632) 35000.

Emergency Call Boxes. Emergency Call Boxes connect motorists to the Traffic Control Room. In the Open System, they are one kilometer apart; while in the Closed System, they are two kilometers apart.
Closed Circuit Television. The CCTV cameras enable the tollway’s traffic management system to keep track of traffic and other developments inside the NLEX and to enable tollways traffic teams to respond quickly to motorists in need.
Variable Message Signs. Digital outdoor signs along the expressway flash safety reminders and timely traffic updates.
Portable Weighing Scales. Computerized scales help traffic enforcers keep in check overloaded trucks which may cause accidents within the expressway.
