Question 1

Where does Scottish roadworks data come from?

Accepted Answer

We use open data from the Scottish Road Works Register (SRWR), the statutory register for roadworks across Scotland. Pages are rebuilt daily after the overnight SRWR export.

Question 2

Why only show works within 5 miles of each town?

Accepted Answer

Most drivers care about works on roads they actually use. Plot a route alert if you need coverage along a specific commute or journey.

Question 3

How fresh is the data?

Accepted Answer

SRWR open data is updated overnight. Town pages refresh daily, so counts are typically less than 24 hours old.

Question 4

Can I get alerts for roadworks in Scotland?

Accepted Answer

You can plot a route on Roadworks Radar and turn on email alerts, but Scottish roadworks data is still in beta. Matching and notifications may miss works, arrive late, or behave differently from our England coverage. We are improving this, but we cannot guarantee the same reliability yet.
