Review of: UK Traffic Information from www.keepmoving.co.uk

5/5 (minimum 1)

by Paddy on 03 Aug 2007

The data presentation seems focussed and isn't the usual zoomable map but the key differentiator here is that the information is a blend of 'official' data and eyewitness audio reports. If you know of a traffic problem you can call in with details so that others can benefit by hearing a recording of your message online or by phone. There's a kudos point system to encourage reporters.

I do think they're missing a trick by charging people to submit their audio reports. Whether reporting or listening by phone the charges seem steep but you can access them freely online.

You're able to register for free text alerts on a your chosen journey and there's a news/discussion area on the website too.

I like the social assistance element as well as the way the information is presented so I've added the site to my toolbox to help cope with our congested roads...but I doubt I'll be calling in at 60p/min unless I'm desperate.
