Meanwhile, for major roads, see the Highways Agency, AA, BBC and RAC under Regional/National below.
BBC Radio London includes web cam views
Events Diary for marches & demos
can be useful for street closures & parking restrictions during big events but is rather selective & excludes the City so is best used in conjunction with TfL's site (see below).
Transport for London (TfL) Very useful indeed here is:
either now or planned works, events, marches etc within next 7 days. Default is 'Today' so select number of days forwards from menu. Zoom in on map for a good substitute for an A-Z!
Highways Agency - currently has two almost parallel sites:
Traffic England - real time info (incl what's on Mway signs)
Traffic Info - real time & forecast traffic
RAC Traffic News - select region then sort results by County for best results.
For a handy A4 list of UK MSA's with contact numbers, operators & fuels available, please email malc[at]beguidedby.me.uk. Sorry, this is available only to qualified Blue Badge Tour Guides
