General Road & Traffic Information
Streetworks, Roadworks.org and one.network provide essentially the same information about roadworks and traffic incidents but their interfaces and functionality differs.
Traffic Update provides similar information but the site is harder to search in rural areas (though you can find information on specific trunk roads easily using the menu at the top).
Highways England (now called National Highways) and @HighwaysSEAST on twitter provides roadworks details.
Waze App gives you the best route in real time with help from fellow drivers.
@WBerksRoads twitter feed about roadworks and reported problems through West Berks Council.
West Berkshire Council, Swindon Council, and Wiltshire Council have links to maps of their areas showing roadworks and delays. The Vale of White Horse Council’s section is rather less useful.
Reporting problems
Report problems with roads and pavements (including faulty traffic lights, potholes, abandoned cars) in West Berkshire, Wiltshire, Swindon and Vale of White Horse.
