About

Built for
Britain's roads

Every year, millions of roadworks permits are granted across the UK. Yet historically, this data has been scattered across dozens of local authority systems — impossible to search and hours behind reality. For commuters, fleet managers, and highways professionals, that fragmentation means wasted journeys and decisions made on stale information.

Roadworks Trackr fixes that as the UK's first dedicated roadworks application. We aggregate live feeds from major official networks — including DfT Street Manager, National Highways, Transport for London, and Traffic Scotland — delivering a single, searchable map updated within 2 minutes of a change.

Free to download. No account required to start exploring.

What users
are saying

"I commute into London every day and the roadworks on my route change constantly. This app has genuinely changed how I plan my morning. I check it before I even get in the car. The camera feeds are a brilliant extra."
Kayleigh Stephens
"Really impressed with how quickly new permits appear on the map. I had one show up within minutes of it being granted. The detail you get on each permit, promoter, dates, conditions, is more than I expected from a free app."
Helen Barton
"Finally an app that shows National Highways closures alongside street works on the same map. I used to have to check three different websites. This does it all in one place and the push notifications actually work."
Hannah Goodman
"Wasn't sure how useful it would actually be but I've been using it every morning for about three months now. It's saved me from sitting in a big delay on the A406 twice already. The alerts are spot on."
Erlind Kurti
"Been on the Pro plan since launch and it's worth every penny. The journey checker is the bit I use the most. Planning a long drive and being able to see every set of roadworks along the route before you set off is something no other app does."
Brandon Myland
"I'm out driving most of the day for work and this has become as essential as Google Maps to me. The live map updates fast and the filters mean I can narrow it down to just what's relevant to where I'm working that day."

Driving Mode

BETA

Driving Mode is a live roadworks co-pilot — not a navigation app. A heading-up GPS map follows your position as you drive, and automatic proximity alerts fire when roadworks are detected ahead, showing the promoter, works type, traffic control type, and expected end date. Alert distance is configurable. It is designed to run alongside Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze, giving you full roadworks awareness without switching apps. Available now for Ultimate subscribers only.

⚠️ Driving Mode is a situational awareness tool. Always use a dedicated navigation app for routing and follow official signed diversions when in place.

What is Roadworks Trackr?

Roadworks Trackr is the UK's first dedicated roadworks intelligence app for iPhone and Android. It brings together live data from DfT Street Manager, National Highways, TfL, Traffic Scotland, and Scotland Roadworks (SRWR) onto a single interactive map — updated within 2 minutes of any change. You can filter by work type, promoter, and status, and explore permit details across the network. Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Wales are not currently covered. Upgrade to Pro or Ultimate to unlock alerts, route monitoring, advanced filters, and in-depth Insights.

Is it really free?

Yes — the core app is completely free to download, with or without an account. Free users get a 5-mile radius view based on their current location, 3 location searches per day, and up to 5 taps on individual works per day. Pro and Ultimate subscriptions remove these limits and unlock route monitoring, push notifications, email alerts, advanced filters, Journey Checker, VMS signs, and more.

Where does the data come from?

We pull live data from official UK sources: DfT Street Manager (every permitted roadwork in England), National Highways (motorway & A-road closures, gantry VMS signs, traffic cameras), Transport for London (JamCam feeds, events & incidents), Traffic Scotland (trunk road incidents & VMS signs), and Scotland Roadworks (SRWR local authority permits across Scottish council areas). All data is refreshed within 2 minutes of any change.

Does it work outside England?

Scotland is covered via Traffic Scotland trunk road incidents and VMS signs, and Scotland Roadworks (SRWR) local authority permits across Scottish council areas. Wales, Northern Ireland, and Ireland are not currently covered. We display a notice on the map for uncovered areas.

What's the difference between Pro and Ultimate?

Pro — ideal for commuters and fleet managers. Unlocks Journey Checker (plan a route and see every roadwork on it), route monitoring, push notifications, email alerts, advanced filters, National Highways & Traffic Scotland VMS signs, full permit page with permit timeline, and 3 years of historical permit data.

Ultimate — everything in Pro, plus Driving Mode (BETA) — a live roadworks co-pilot with a heading-up GPS map and automatic proximity alerts for works ahead, designed to run alongside Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze — CCTV feeds from National Highways, TfL, and Traffic Scotland, and the full Insights suite: Area Disruption Score, Street Timeline, Promoter Track Record, and Overrun Tracker.

Can I use it for professional or council purposes?

Yes. We offer Enterprise and Council licences that include a dedicated highway authority portal, multi-user access, and a personalised analytics dashboard. Contact us to discuss pricing.

How do I report a problem with a roadwork?

Inside the app, tap any roadwork pin and scroll to the bottom of the detail sheet — you'll find a "Report a problem" option that submits your concern directly to the relevant highway authority. You can also hold down on the map at any location to open the local highway authority's report a problem page. For issues with the app itself, use the contact form below.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Subscriptions are managed through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). You can cancel at any time from your device's subscription settings — no action is needed within the app itself. You'll retain access until the end of your billing period.
