The Highways England Traffic app provides live information on the flow of traffic on motorways and major A roads in England. The app uses data collected from vehicle monitors, CCTV, and patrol reports to keep users updated on traffic incidents and congestion throughout the day. It also provides information on lane closures and other restrictions due to improvement works. Users can search for incidents and roadworks using various search options, view traffic flow on motorways, access CCTV footage, input routes, and review the status of a route. The app requires an internet connection and a GPS-enabled phone for location-based features.
