Common Questions

What happens after my 7-day trial?
Your card is charged automatically at your plan rate. You can cancel anytime before the trial ends and you won't be charged. No refunds on digital products once accessed.
Can I still buy a one-off report without subscribing?
Yes. Individual reports are always available at our standard prices (from 99p). Bundle subscribers just get theirs included.
How quickly will I get alerts?
Our system checks National Highways data every 5 minutes. When something is flagged on one of your roads, you get an email and Telegram alert shortly after. The exact timing depends on when NH publishes the update.
What if I don't use my report credit this month?
Credits reset monthly — use it or lose it. This prevents stockpiling and keeps the system fair for everyone.
Are the delays accurate?
We show exactly what National Highways reports. In our experience, actual delays are often significantly longer. We include a note about this in every alert so you can plan accordingly.
Can I change my plan later?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime. Changes take effect on your next billing cycle.

Time Makes the Difference

Knowing about an incident 15 minutes earlier can be the difference between finding an alternative route and sitting in traffic wondering what's going on.

❓ Common Questions

How does it work?
We read data from National Highways every 5 minutes. When congestion starts building or an incident is reported on one of your monitored roads, you get an alert via email and Telegram. The earlier you know, the more time you have to adjust your route.
Why is the public feed delayed?
The 15-minute delay on this page is what makes the subscription worthwhile. Paid subscribers receive alerts as soon as congestion is detected. By the time it appears here, subscribers have already had time to react.
What roads are covered?
We currently cover motorways and major A-roads managed by National Highways across England. This includes roads like the M1, M25, M6, A1, A14, and many more — but not all A-roads or local authority roads. Scotland, Wales, and TfL roads are not currently included.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — all plans include a 7-day free trial. Try the full system, see how the alerts work for your commute, and cancel anytime if it's not for you. No charge during the trial.
Where does the data come from?
All data is sourced from National Highways under the Open Government Licence v3.0. We present the data as-is. Delay times are as reported by National Highways — actual delays experienced by drivers can sometimes be longer. We are an independent service, not affiliated with National Highways.
