TrafficMap is a trial service designed to make available to the public real-time traffic and travel information which is available on HA systems. The information is gathered by Q-MISS a central database and delivered to the TrafficMap web site via the Travel Information Highway (TIH). The TrafficMap web site will evolve to provide additional real-time traffic information services based on public demand and response.

Text Based Information:

Speed Bands on TrafficMap - Average current road speed is displayed on TrafficMap Text Information Pages as the current average speed value and as a shaded colour. The following table provides an indication of traffic conditions that may be expected for each of the speed bands.

The coverage of speed sensors is due to be increased in the near future. Caution - TrafficMap is a trial and in some areas the information displayed may be incomplete. TrafficMap junction information is designed to aid the users understanding of the location of particular junctions and should not be used for route planning.

Map Based Information:

On the front page the following information indicates:
- the location of a traffic incident.
- the location where travel delays are reported.

On subsequent map pages the additional information indicates:
- the location of variable message signs displaying with travel information.
- the location of matrix signs sets with speed or lane restrictions.

The scrolling text on the left hand side of the page is the last 3 traffic events that have been generated. On the maps on the right hand side of the page, if the icon has an orange border then the event is one of the last 10 to be generated
