Assistant
Traffic assistant
Ask about the motorways and major A roads of England and Wales and get an answer from the live data we collect. It answers only from what the sources say, names where it came from, and says “I don't know” when there's no data. It isn't a sat nav: it tells you what's happening on the road.

How it works
Ask in plain words
Type it as you'd say it: “any accidents on the M25?”, “is the A55 closed tonight?”, “what's happening near Leeds?”.
We check the live sources
Your question goes to the same official data that feeds the live map, read again every minute.
An answer with its source
We answer only from what the data shows, name where it came from, and say so when we don't know or a road is outside our coverage.
The sources
The assistant answers from these public sources, the same as the live map. Roads run by local councils, Scotland and Northern Ireland are not covered yet.
