The numbers don't lie
Roadworks are out of control
No, you're not imagining it. England is currently experiencing a tsunami of roadworks. Data suggests that roadworks have increased by 30% over the past decade*.
This means more delays, more missed appointments, more awkward conversations with the boss.
Roadworks Radar helps you avoid nasty surprises by telling you about planned roadworks on your regular routes long before they happen.

A note from Matt
Hands up if you hate random temporary traffic lights
Hey fellow commuter 👋 I'm Matt and I'm the founder of Roadworks Radar.
I built it because I was getting sick and tired of getting caught out by random temporary traffic lights on my way to work. (Are they really temporary if they're always there?!). I just needed something to give me a simple heads up ahead of time, so I could leave earlier or find an alternative route.
Well, Roadworks Radar does exactly that. I've got all my regular routes set up and it lets me know about roadworks long before they can ruin my day, with evening digests, instant alerts for emergencies, the lot.
Whenever roadworks hit one commute, I just swerve them by taking another. The only downside is I can't blame the temporary traffic lights when I'm late anymore 😂
