Every Minute Counts

The difference between knowing about an incident at 10 minutes and finding out at 30 minutes could be the difference between an alternative route and two hours stuck on the motorway.

❓ Common Questions

How does it work?
Our system reads live road sensor data from National Highways every 5 minutes. When traffic speed drops on your monitored roads, you get an instant email alert — typically 20-40 minutes before the incident is officially reported. Police incidents, vehicle fires, and road closures trigger immediate alerts regardless of sensor data.
Why is the public feed delayed?
The 15-minute delay on this page is what makes the subscription valuable. Paid subscribers see alerts the moment congestion is detected. By the time it appears here, our subscribers have already adjusted their route.
What roads are covered?
All 119 motorways and major A-roads across England managed by National Highways — over 4,500 miles of strategic road network.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — all plans include a 7-day free trial. Experience every feature, completely free. If it saves you even one delayed journey, it's already paid for itself. Cancel anytime before the trial ends.
Where does the data come from?
All data is sourced from National Highways' public data feeds under the Open Government Licence v3.0. We are an independent monitoring service, not affiliated with National Highways.
