Live traffic updates extended to include local roads

20th Sep 2022

MOTORISTS in New England council areas will now have access to local road data on the state’s Live Traffic NSW platform. It means closures, delays and repairs on any road will be visible from a single app and will help in times of flood and other disasters.
Until now, only state roads were included in the system, which feeds into navigation systems such as Google Maps.
The NSW Government is expanding the Live Traffic NSW website and app to provide more reliable information to drivers, especially during emergencies like bushfires or floods.
Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway said the initial 22 LGAs have been chosen in consultation with the NSW Police, RFS and SES with the view to have all 128 LGAs across the state on board by 2024.
“LGAs will continue to come onboard in stages, with the priority given to the regional councils who have been impacted most by bushfires and floods.
“By bringing all of the state’s traffic information into one central hub we will improve the experience of road users, helping to keep drivers moving and our communities safe.”
“In the event of road closures through floods or fires, they will no longer have to piece together information from different sources to work out what roads are open and safe to use.
“By bringing all of the state’s traffic information into one central hub we will improve the experience of road users, helping to keep drivers moving and our communities safe.”

Going strong for 100 years
