The Highways Agency appears more ready than ever before as we look towards the Easter break and substantial traffic numbers expected across the UK. Conscious of severe criticism in the past, the Highways Agency has now dramatically improved the performance of its own website and introduced very useful and concise traffic reports which can now be transmitted to mobile phones and other portable devices.
Information available to an array of mobile devices is now tailored to the small screen and will enable readers, who are being urged to pull over for a rest while they check the traffic, to see exactly what is before them. The speeds at which information will be made available to the website, and for mobile transmission, has been substantially increased as the demand for quicker and quicker details about possible traffic jams and road works grows.
This is the latest in a number of new initiatives by the UK authorities to ensure that the latest Internet technology is incorporated across the public sector. The use of mobile devices such as mobile phones and PDAs will also assist in ensuring the latest information is transmitted as soon as possible. Traffic jams over the Easter break have caused havoc in the past but there are now high hopes of significant improvements, starting this weekend? |
