Live Traffic Info 3.11 [free]

*****Please note we are currently experiencing an issue with managing routes in the app. We are working on a solution and expect this to be resolved
soon.*****
Check how the traffic is flowing on motorways and major A roads in England with official information live from the Highways England National Traffic Control Centre.
PLEASE NOTE: This app only contains information about the roads we manage in England. Other smaller roads in England are managed by local authorities. Trunk roads and
motorways in Scotland are the responsibility of Transport Scotland; those in Wales of the Welsh Assembly Government.
This App will use your current location to give you the traffic news when and where you need it. Plan your journey, reduce congestion, lower emissions and arrive safe and
less frustrated.
Official data is collected from thousands of vehicle monitors, CCTV and patrol reports to show where Highways England network is flowing well and to keep you up-to-date
with traffic incidents as they break throughout the day.
The information covers unplanned incidents such as accidents and congestion, plus lane closures and other restrictions due to improvement works. Advance notice of future
essential roadworks is given wherever possible.
KEY FEATURES:
Search
Allows the user to search for Incidents, current-road works and future road works, using 4 search options: Near You, Region, Motorway or A-Road. The facility to see all
the events on all of Highways England Roads is included under ‘All of England’
Flow
A new feature. This option provides a view of the traffic flow on any of the Motorways in England. The user can then tap a ‘view’ button to review the motorway junction to
junction information in detail. The user can share information about any event of interest using the social media options on their phone.
CCTV
This allows the user to search and view any of the CCTV’s on the Highways England Network. A current still image is shown, the image can be updated after 1 minute.
Routes
The user can now input a route using location name, address or postcodes. This feature uses the Google route finder to identify the available routes and the route will be
displayed on a Google Map. Notifications can be added for chosen routes.
Review
The review screen enables the user, when not driving, to review the status of a route. They can scroll the list of events or they can zoom the map in or out.
Drive
The user can drive with or without a planned route. When driving without a planned route the user will be informed about all the Highways England events on the roads
around them. The most common approach is to drive with a route. Then the App will only show the known events on the Highways England roads along that route.
