What you will find here

Each incident shows its type (Road closed, Accident, Congestion, Obstruction, Weather…), the road and kilometre point, the town and region, the affected direction and since when it applies. Incidents marked as scheduled have not started yet: they are closures announced in advance, sporting events or roadworks.

For now the data covers England only — motorways and major A roads managed by National Highways — and only closures: planned roadworks and unplanned lane closures. It contains no accidents or queues; Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are not included yet.

Data sources
