Got Traffic? Keepmoving.com

Filed in archive Travel Tips on June 29, 2006

Keep Moving is a new UK travel information service designed to help motorists navigate the congestion clogged roadways of Britain. It works online, by SMS or by phone (landline or mobile). You can check the website for live traffic reports, plot and save your daily commute or a road trip travel route, and dial in for traffic updates from any UK motorway.

And if you find yourself stuck in a jam, the keepmoving traffic line on 64644 will tell you the cause of the problem and how severe the delays are likely to be. If you want to get off the road and do something nearby they have local travel and tourism information, too:

First, you confirm an area of interest by: allowing us to detect your location; or entering a motorway junction; or, entering a UK dialling code. Next, you select either pub food, B&Bs or days out and a description of venues in that area follow.

Sounds like a cool way to deal with traffic and travel when you don't have a copy of Fodor's in the boot!
