Traffic management support for events
Don’t let traffic spoil your event
First impressions count
The success of an event is not judged by the event alone but also by how easy or difficult it is to get to and from the venue. We can help you by offering a number of services that can assist in minimising event-related congestion and incidents - ensuring safe roads, reliable journeys and informed travellers. Did you know the National Traffic Control Centre monitors traffic and provides real-time information to travellers on England’s motorways and major A-roads 24/7?
How can we help you with event planning?
We are the traffic information experts and can assist you with major event planning. Below are the services we can provide for FREE :

1The use of electronic roadside message signs for event signing is only for traffic management purposes, not event promotion. This is subject to strict criteria and approval on a case-by-case basis. Signs are installed only at selected strategic locations and do not cover all of England’s motorways and A-road network. Safety-related incident messages have priority over event signing.
