Traffic Radio - helping you plan your journey

Traffic Radio is a new service keeping you up to date with what’s happening on England’s motorways and major A roads, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

With information direct from the Highways Agency’s National Traffic Control Centre, we update Traffic Radio every 10 minutes, every 20 outside busy times. Information when you want it – no need to wait.

Find out before you set off if there are any delays on your route as well as details of the latest roadworks, so you can make a choice about your route and the time you set off – or whether to catch the train or bus instead.

Whatever journey you're planning, Traffic Radio can help.

To tune in to the DAB service, press the "Scan" button on your radio. This will give you all the digital channels available in your area.  You then simply scroll through the channels until you reach "Traffic Radio".

You can also listen to service by streaming it directly from the Traffic Radio website or on your compatible phone or PDA advice, when you take a break from driving.

Wherever you’re planning a journey, Traffic Radio can help you.

Traffic Radio – live traffic updates 24 hours a day. On DAB and online at the Traffic Radio website.
