Frequently Asked Questions

Has Traffic England really closed?

Yes — the Traffic England website has been discontinued. The good news: the official National Highways data it displayed is still published, and UK Traffic Updates uses those same live feeds, refreshed every 3 minutes.

Is this an official National Highways site?

No. UK Traffic Updates is an independent service using official National Highways open data (OGL v3.0) and Transport for London open data, combined with community driver reports. Always cross-reference with official sources for critical journeys.

Do I need an account?

No account needed for live traffic, the map or browsing reports. A quick email signup gets you free road alerts for your commute roads.

How do I report an incident?

Head to Community Reports, tap the road location on the map, pick the incident type, and submit — around 30 seconds start to finish. Photos and extra detail help other drivers even more.
