Fair questions.

Where does LiveRoad's data come from?

The Department for Transport's Street Manager feed — the same official source councils and contractors file roadwork permits into — and, for Scotland, the Scottish Road Works Register; for Northern Ireland, TrafficwatchNI from the Department for Infrastructure. Plus National Highways, TfL and traffic and speed camera datasets.

How often is the data updated?

English permits arrive near real-time as they're published; Northern Ireland every 30 minutes; Scottish works every morning. The worst-roads and council pages refresh every few hours.

Is LiveRoad free?

Yes — the live map, road alerts and the weekly email digest are completely free. Businesses that want the data as an API: talk to us.

Does it cover my area?

LiveRoad covers every council in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, plus motorways and trunk roads in Wales. Find roadworks near you, or browse by council or by town for road closures and planned roadworks.

Can I get alerts for roadworks near me?

Watch any road and we'll send a phone notification or an email the moment new works appear on it. The Monday digest covers your wider area, and you can add a Friday weekend email too.

Does LiveRoad cover Scotland?

Yes. Scottish roadworks come from the Scottish Road Works Register, updated every morning — on the map, on every Scottish council page and in town pages like Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Does LiveRoad cover Northern Ireland?

Yes. Roadworks on every road in Northern Ireland come from TrafficwatchNI, run by the Department for Infrastructure, refreshed every 30 minutes — on the map and on pages for Belfast, Derry, Lisburn, Newry and every NI council.
