Mobile services
We provide a range of mobile services designed to allow you to stay in touch with our latest information and traffic updates on the move.
These services only give information about roads we manage in England.
Find out more information about the roads we manage, and who else is responsible for roads in the United Kingdom.
iPhone/Android/Windows app
We’ve launched free traffic information apps for Android, iPhone/iPad and Windows mobile devices.
You can download the apps from the App Store for iPhone and iPad, Google Play Store or Windows Phone Store.
Check how the traffic is flowing on motorways and major A-roads in England with official information live from the National Highways Traffic Control Centre.
The app uses 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 the National Highways 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 collisions and congestion, plus lane closures and other restrictions due to improvement works. Advance notice of future essential roadworks is given wherever possible.
