Regional Control Centres

We have Regional Control Centres in each region of England. These are operated jointly by the Highways Agency and the Police and our officers based in them are responsible for planning for roadworks, monitoring road conditions (through CCTV and monitoring loops) and allocating traffic officers to incidents, establishing diversion alternatives and setting regional electronic roadsigns.

Our National Traffic Control Centre collates information from all seven Regional Control Centres (see map below) to provide information to travellers via strategic electronic road signs, telephone information lines, internet and traffic news media.
