Good for

Local news sites: live road updates next to a story about a crash or a closure.
Councils, schools and hospitals: travel news for staff and visitors on the roads they use.
Businesses near a motorway: hotels, venues, haulage and delivery firms, on a “getting here” page.
Clubs and community sites: before a match day or an event.

Common questions

Does it cost anything?

No. It’s free for any website, including businesses.

Does it update by itself?

Yes. It shows what’s happening on the road now and refreshes every 2 minutes. Each incident links to its own page on motorways.me.

Can I show more than one road?

Yes: add the code once for each road.

Will it slow my site down?

No. It’s a small page of its own, and it only loads when a visitor scrolls to it.

Is there anything I should keep?

Please keep the link to motorways.me under it and the data credits inside it. It isn’t an official service, so please don’t present it as coming from National Highways.

Can I get the data another way?

Every road has an RSS feed, such as the M25’s, and there’s one for every road.
