Dorset travel & traffic
Live roadworks, closures, incidents, bus disruption, and flood and weather warnings — from Dorset Council, National Highways, Dorset Police, Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue and First Bus, plus flood warnings from the Environment Agency and weather warnings from the Met Office, plus live traffic conditions from Google Maps. We don't run any of these services; every item here is credited and linked back to where it came from.
For live traffic colours (red/amber/green) on the map, open it in Google Maps — that live layer isn't available in an embedded map.

About this page
Roadworks and incident data comes from Dorset Council (via INRIX), National Highways, Dorset Police and Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service. Train disruption (cancellations, delays of 10+ minutes and service alerts at Dorset stations) comes from National Rail's Live Departure Board — source: National Rail. Bus updates come from First Bus (Weymouth Town Council roadworks and Morebus updates are linked above rather than pulled in automatically). Flood warnings come from the Environment Agency, and weather warnings from the Met Office. We don't run any of these services and can't guarantee their accuracy. Live traffic conditions are from Google Maps. Refreshed roughly every 10 minutes.
