Don't Cross or Walk Along Motorways
The Highways Agency aims to make more people aware of the dangers of walking or crossing our motorway. We have launched a poster and radio campaign aimed at 16-25yr olds. Hopefully with our hard hitting posters, our message will come across.

Tune in for news of the very latest traffic conditions. Our digital radio station Traffic Radio broadcasts continuous round-the-clock information, from the Highways Agency National Traffic Control Centre, telling you about the national network and regional traffic information.
You can find the service on DAB digital radios by pressing the scan button and then scrolling to find Traffic Radio. You can check it out before you leave - it's also available on the internet at: http://www.trafficradio.org.uk/ and on compatible mobile handsets.
Our Highways Agency control centres also supply live information for travel bulletins on many local and national radio stations and you may sometimes hear the presenters say that they are looking at Highways Agency cameras as they speak.
If your car radio is an FM version with a Radio Data System (RDS) it will probably have a 'travel announcement' button marked TA or TP. You can set this to switch over automatically to local traffic news for the area in which you are travelling whenever it is broadcast.
