Get Road Alerts Before the Traffic Hits

We monitor National Highways' motorways and major A-roads across England. When congestion starts building or an incident is reported on your roads, you'll get an alert — often before delays are even visible on the map.

We Monitor

National Highways road data checked every 5 minutes — covering motorways and major A-roads across England.

🧠

We Detect

Congestion building? Incident reported? Lane closures? If it's on a road you follow, we pick it up.

📧

You Get Alerted

An email (and Telegram, if you link it) with the road, where it is, the delay, the expected clear time and a map you can zoom — so you can decide your route.

What Subscribers Get

👀

Early Heads Up

When delays start building on your road, you'll get a heads up while it's still early enough to consider a different route.

⚠️

Delay Warnings

As delays grow, you'll get updates so you know whether to wait it out or find an alternative.

🚨

Incident Alerts

Collisions, vehicle fires, road closures, police incidents — alerted as soon as National Highways reports them.

✅

Clearance Notifications

When the incident clears, you'll know — so you can get back on your normal route without guessing.

More than just alerts

You're in control of your alerts

Alerts that fit around your life — not the other way round.

🕘

Choose your alert hours

Weekdays, weekends or any time. Tap "Weekday commute" or set your own times — overnight shifts too.

⏸️

Pause with one tap

Day off or on holiday? Pause for 2 hours, until tomorrow, for a week or until you're back. Alerts switch themselves back on.

🌅

One round-up, not a pile

Outside your hours we stay quiet, then send one round-up of anything still on your roads when your hours start.

🚨

Serious incidents still reach you

Collisions, police incidents and closures on your roads can still come through outside your hours — your choice.

🗺️

A map with every alert

Zoom in on the spot, see nearby places, the delay and National Highways' expected clear time — and share it in one tap.

✏️

Change your roads any time

Add or swap roads yourself from your own dashboard, using the link in every alert.

Pausing alerts doesn't pause your subscription — if you won't need us for a while, you can cancel instead.

Common Questions

What happens after my 7-day trial?
Your card is charged automatically at your plan rate on the day the trial ends, and then every month (or year) until you cancel. Cancel before the trial ends and you won't be charged at all. Free trials are for new subscribers - if you have subscribed before, your plan starts on your first payment.
How do I cancel?
Email business@uktrafficupdates.uk from the address you signed up with and we'll cancel your plan. You keep your alerts until the end of the period you have paid for. If you cancel within 14 days of signing up, you pay only for any paid days you have used.
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.
Will you send me alerts in the middle of the night?
Only if you want them. Alerts start on "any time", and you can pick your alert hours from the link in any alert: daytime, your weekday commute, or your own times. Outside your hours we stay quiet, then send one round-up of anything still on your roads when your hours start. Serious incidents on your roads (collisions, police incidents, closures) can still come through if you want them to.
Can I pause my alerts?
Yes, with one tap from any alert: for 2 hours, until tomorrow morning, for a week, until a date you choose, or until you turn them back on. Pausing stops the alerts, not your subscription - your plan carries on as normal and a free trial still ends on its usual date. If you won't need us for a while, you can cancel instead.
Do I need Telegram to use the service?
No — email alerts work without Telegram. But we recommend connecting Telegram for faster notifications straight to your phone. It takes 30 seconds to set up and is included free with every plan.
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. Email business@uktrafficupdates.uk and we'll switch your plan or your roads for you. A new price applies from your next payment date, and you are never charged for two plans at once.

Time Makes the Difference

Hearing about an incident 15 minutes before it reaches our free map can be the difference between finding an alternative route and sitting in traffic wondering what's going on.
