Never get caught out byroadworksagain
Add your work commute, school run, or any frequent journey and we'll let you know about roadworks before they happen.
You know how it goes...

- Hit unexpected temporary lights 🚦
- Queue behind 20 cars crawling forward
- Lights take forever to change ⏳
- Arrive late… again, rehearsing excuses for your boss 😓
It doesn't have to be this way

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
We pull data directly from the UK Department for Transport's Street Manager API. This is the same official source that local authorities and utility companies use to coordinate roadworks across England.
While Google Maps and Waze are great for real-time navigation and traffic, Roadworks Radar is specifically designed for advance planning. We notify you about scheduled roadworks days or weeks before they start, so you can plan ahead rather than just react to delays.
We focus on your regular routes (commute, school run, etc.) and send you proactive email alerts about upcoming works, rather than just showing current traffic conditions when you're already driving.
While we strive to provide the most up-to-date information, roadworks can be delayed, brought forward, or cancelled due to weather, emergencies, or other factors. We recommend always following live road signage over email alerts.
Absolutely! You can edit, add, or delete your saved routes and zones at any time from your dashboard. Changes take effect immediately for future alerts.
No spam here! You'll receive a weekly digest (usually Sunday evening) and immediate alerts only when roadworks are about to start on your routes. You can adjust your notification preferences or unsubscribe anytime.
Yes! You can cancel your annual subscription anytime through your account settings. Lifetime plans are one-off payments with no recurring charges.
We currently cover England, pulling data from the Department for Transport's Street Manager system. We're working on expanding coverage to other UK regions.
We use geospatial matching to compare your saved routes (with a buffer zone) and areas against the location of planned roadworks. If there's an overlap, you'll get notified.
Annual plans (£20/year) give you unlimited routes and zones with email alerts. Lifetime plans (£50 once) are a one-off payment for permanent access. Both include the same features—it's just a matter of how you prefer to pay.
