Question 1

What counts as a roadwork on Roadworks Radar?

Accepted Answer

Anything on the Department for Transport's Street Manager feed, National Highways' incident feed, or the Scottish Road Works Register: full closures, lane closures, two-way lights, give-and-take, and works without traffic management.

Question 2

How often are the roadworks updated?

Accepted Answer

The map is drawn from Street Manager, National Highways and the Scottish Road Works Register, refreshed through the day. For a warning on a specific journey, plot a route alert.

Question 3

Does this include Scotland?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Search a Scottish address, town or postcode, or use your location in Scotland, and the map shows works from the Scottish Road Works Register alongside any National Highways roads in range.

Question 4

Can I see roadworks on a specific route, not just near a point?

Accepted Answer

Yes — plot a route alert. We scan active roadworks and email you only the ones that touch your route.

Question 5

Where does the data come from?

Accepted Answer

Local roads in England come from Street Manager. Scottish local roads come from the Scottish Road Works Register. Motorways and trunk roads in England come from National Highways.
