Drivers and others looking for information about England's motorway and trunk road network will find the Highways Agency's website incorporates four new services to help drivers plan their journeys.

The website at www.highways.gov.uk, which is now more attractive, easier to navigate and simpler to use, registers well over a million page impressions a month.

Visitors to the website can now get real-time traffic information from the National Traffic Control Centre. They will also be able to get traffic-flow forecasts to help them plan their future journeys.

Details of all road projects are now stored in a database, which visitors can search by simply clicking a map or selecting a road from a drop-down list. There is also a live and continuously updated stream of timely and relevant information for the road user.
