Favourite traffic web pages ? - Clanger
I don't do a quarter of the annual mileage I used to so when I need to make a long trip, I like to check the Internet for hold ups before I start out. I lost interest in Traffic England and its associates, Traffic Scotland and Traffic Wales (and for all I know, Traffic Isle of Man and Traffic Holy Island) when I found that they didn't join up, and that Traffic England was slow to report jams that I knew existed. (Many of my local journeys take me under or over the A1 in North Yorkshire).

The service that supplies data to Tomtom traffic, iTis, also supplied Toyota's www.getmethere.co.uk site which shows traffic data in an easily absorbed pictorial form (I like pictures). Getmethere also allows one to move from country to country on the mainland so I was surprised to find it removed from the Getmethere web pages last week and replaced with something that might help me to find my mobile phone, were it lost.

Keepmoving only works if you can be bothered to set up various journeys in advance and doesn't seem to understand commuting at weekends which shift workers might do.

Many of you might have Tomtom Traffic or its equivalent for your separate devices or PDAs, but what are your favourite traffic web pages?
