Highways agency blocking cameras

I believe the highways agency is now preventing us (the road tax payers) from seeing the cameras. Is this true or is it just me? Every camera I look for in the Midlands area says unavailable.

Re: Highways agency blocking cameras

Hi Alun,
All cameras on the M6 between J7 and Hilton Park are currently unavailable to us while the long-term roadworks for the upgrade to managed motorways are in progress.
You should still be able to access the others around the region, depending on any maintenance work which may take place.

Re: Cameras

Hi Spider,
If you zoom in very close on the map view, we have attempted to indicate the exact position of the cameras by offsetting the icon slightly to one side of the carriageway or the other. However, a number of the cameras on this stretch are directly over the central reservation.
Hope that helps!

Fuel prices and links.

There are still links to and mention of fuel price information on your site and I have wasted my time looking for it.

I've had to scroll down this forum to find that you no longer supply fuel information, but that was last year.

Please remove all mentions of fuel prices and the associated links via the cheap tab from your site - they just go back to the route page - to save others wasting time.

Also an announcement on the home page.

What Happened to this Service Yesterday?

This service was reporting a 20 minute delay on the southbound M23 yesterday evening. The M23 was closed and all surrounding roads were gridlocked! I spent an EXTRA 1.5 hours getting past this incident but no special incident report on this service. All the radio stations were reporting the incident (overturned lorry shed a load of breeze blocks across all three lanes at 3:30 in the afternoon) so why not this service? Was everyone off sick?

Can anyone recommend another service that actually reports major traffic incidents? This was a real waste of money the number of times I rang and go no information.

Re: What Happened to this Service Yesterday?

Hi Mary,
Thanks for your feedback on this incident and first let me apologise for the fact that you were obviously let down by how the service performed on this occasion.
We were reporting this accident right through from 3.20pm until 9.40pm; however there seems to have been a problem with the software that works out the placement of messages on the phone-line; the system seems to have interpreted the closure as affecting the the link to the airport from J9 rather than the main motorway from J8 to J9. This meant that none of the recorded announcements had any incident in place to 'attach' to and so be played out on the service.
We were reporting significant delays on the M23 from before 4pm until after 6.30. After that time the motorway was still closed, but traffic was finding alternative routes. When all goes well, we do emphasise on the service that the delay reported on the phone-line is only the delay approaching the closure; any delays on the diversion are on top of that fi

Delay not showing

Why is the A4 eastbound into London between J3 and J2 showing as no delays when it is read on Google Maps, showing as a delay on TrafficMaster and on the Highways Agency site? Local reports sound like there really is/has been a delay there but it's not shown on here at all :-(

Re: Delay not showing

Hi there,
Not sure if you're referring to the A4 or M4; these routes run very closely parallel in any case, with one stacked above the other approaching the end of the Chiswick Flyover
Checking back with our historic data records, we were reporting a 10 minute delay on this stretch of the M4 at around 09:20, but this gradually decays away with no delay being reported after 09:40.
The A4 was reporting speeds consistently around 20mph between Gillette Corner and the Chiswick Roundabout at about the same time, but this would not result in a significant delay above normal. Generally, we would not report a delay of less than 3 minutes on this site.
Bear in mind also that some free websites report data which is slightly delayed, so direct comparisons cannot always be made between different sites' reports.
Hope this helps answer your question.

Hay Every one,

every day I have to travel to and from Rochford to Barking for work, now I wouldn't mind if it took me 35mins like the route planner say's it will, but it never does...
if its not the A13 london bound thats chocker in the morning, its the A127 just before the basildon junction.. It backs up there for No apparent reason, the lanes dont get smaller an there's no road works so WHY does this happen and it only seems to be between 5.30pm and 6.30pm as I traveled doen the same road 35 mins later and it's clear as a bell... It just confuses me some thing chronic...
add's 25mins to my journey home for NOTHING.... OMG why does this happen.....

Setting up an alternative route

Morning.
Setting up an alternative routeing a new job Monday, so thought I'd try out this service...

I'm going from Blackpool to Oldham daily, and have set up the standard route via the M61. I'd like to set up a seperate route via the M65 J5 and onto the M66, but when I try to set up an alternative route and add a point on the way, it returns an invalid link message.

Also, whaere do I find the fuel price service?

Regarding the fuel prices, I was looking further down the screen and it appears to have been pulled.

It is confusing though as there is a link on the cheap food page (this will probebly be cleaned up in a houskeeping schedule) :) . However the supermarket idea is a good place to try as most supermarkets are much cheaper than service stations for fuel.

Wrong Location

The reported fallen tree is at Honingham not New Costessey. Why cannot a proper location be entered for this. There is no available location to choose on this site on the A47 between North Tuddenham and New Costessey yet there are 3 other locations between these points — Hockering, Honingham and Easton, over a number of miles. There is little point in reporting an incident if the correct location cannot be given. If you look on Google maps the distance between the two available points it is 9.8 miles

Also why is there just either Eastbound or Westbound to select and not an option for both ways. If there is an accident on a single carriageway road it is normally blocked both ways?

Re: Wrong Location

Sorry Mike, missed your update!
When originally designing the site we were concerned about allowing a 'both ways' option in case longer routes became too cluttered with multiple messages. We also suspected that most users would want to access the information before making a specific journey, so would only be interested in one direction of travel.
However, it is something we could consider, we are also looking at how best to show incidents which do affect both directions of travel.
Thanks for your comments

Re: Wrong Location

Dear Admin,
I think the page is simply not designed well.
Its not easy to navigate to find information required.
Why not to add a special tab with all the infolines and with description which one is which?

Route planner - if you dont accept a default route - to edit your own is a nightmare. You must already know all the junctions - not very handy when you want to check a road condition in unknown area - or on a longer distances with many changes.
As well as the result - to see them on a map could help to find an alternative road.

I would love to see a traffic info on a scalable, google-style map, rather than editing and storing my rotes. Just a quick look and you know what you can expect.

Hope that helps

Re: Wrong Location

Hi Mike,
All the information on KeepMoving comes from the same database that drives our phone service and TMC (SatNav) information. These services are fully automated and use a table of route locations to plot incident reports.
Restrictions on the number of allowable locations for the broadcast services mean these are limited to where numbered roads intersect. In the case of the A47, there are no such intersections between North Tuddenham and New Costessey.
Incidents are normally located between two points, rather than at a given location; which works fine in the majority of cases as it is more important for routing to identify the affected link than the exact location.
We are working on a system which can identify how far down a link an obstruction occurs, but this will have to await a future upgrade to the system.
Hope that helps

Re: which number?

Hi Cheshire Cat!
Most of these numbers are just different 'gateways' to the same information; 401100 is KeepMoving's 'own brand', other services may carry different brandings; 64644 for instance carries the RAC's branding. These numbers are available across all mobile networks. You can also access the info from a landline by dialling 09003-401100.
Some mobile phone companies also operate their own-branded lines: Vodafone customers can call 2222, for T-Mobile the number is 2020.
All of these services operate on premium-rate lines. The subscription-based service which used to operate on 0845-TRAFFIC has now been discontinued.
Hope that clarifies things!

Re: How to avoid route showing motorways

Hi Causeway,
As you will have seen, there isn't an option to 'avoid motorways' on our routing function, and for long journeys this may not be practical. However, if your journey is relatively short, you may be able to force the route off the motorway by choosing a link on a parallel A-Road as an alternative (although we do seem to be getting a number of errors on the 'via' function as well at the moment, which we are investigating).
Try it out and if you're still having problems do get back to us.

Hi Pete,
One of the changes to the service recently introduced is that we now only send out a mail when a delay has been detected on the route. The reason for this is to reduce the overall numbers of mails we send out and so make the service faster, also to avoid filling up your inbox with mails which don't include any useful info.
Do let us know if you think we're not passing on details of any significant delays you meet on your routes.

This has now been restored and you should E-mail Alerts to receive alerts automatically. There is one major change the service however; we will now only send out an alert when there is something to pass on, so your mailbox won't get cluttered up with messages reporting no problems.
If you are relatively new to the site and haven't use the service before, click on the 'Alerts' tab above to set up reports for any route you use regularly. Regular users may want to check their setup to make sure you receive any messages at the time that's best for you.

Re: Traffic Alerts

To reply to some of the points which have been coming up regularly on the boards:
We are aware that there have been significant ongoing problems with the e-mail alert service for which we can only apologise. Investigations are continuing into this and we hope to have an update on progress soon. Rest assured we will advise you as soon as we have anything positive to report.
Not such good news on the fuel price info though. We are no longer able to provide this service for reasons which are not under our control, and we do regret any inconvenience caused by this. However the site will continue to offer up-to-date traffic information, access to traffic cameras across the motorway network as well as a place to air your views on any and all traffic-related issues.

Re: Price of access

Hi rayand,
The most accurate and detailed Precision Traffic information is available on the 2222 service; this is only available to Vodafone subscribers as they provide us with the data to identify the caller's location accurately and so make the information as locally relevant as possible.
All the other services (401100, 64644) carry the same traffic information but without the ability to tailor it to the caller's immediate locality.
All of these services are now premium rate, so are charged at least 60p per minute, although different service providers' charges may vary.
One downside of the introduction of the Precision Traffic service is that we have sadly had to discontinue the subscription based '0845-TRAFFIC' service.
Hope that helps!

[FAO Site admins] keepmoving.co.uk - Invalid Hostname?

This isn't applicable to any particular road, but I had to choose one! (sorry about that)

I've noticed for a long while now, the CNAME www.keepmoving.co.uk works as expected, but http://keepmoving.co.uk (no www.) resolves to "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)". There's no real reason for this even, a 301 Redirect could point to the www. Hostname and it'd improve Google rank too to have proper canonical hostnames.

Can I suggest this as a possible improvement? C'mon guys, there's no reason to not have keepmoving.co.uk set up to listen for requests without the www. CNAME. :)

Re: Why no mention of 3 mile contraflow?

Hi richardl,
The works you saw around Membury are being reported on the site, but their apparent absence may be due to the way incidents like this are reported by automated systems.
As you say, a contraflow by its nature affects traffic flowing in both directions, which is true for a number of types of report particularly weather. These 'bidirectional' messages are treated as a single incident affecting both directions of travel. The problem for showing this on our stripmaps is that the message only appears in one direction, with the opposite carriageway effect implied. This does have the positive effect of making the maps less cluttered and allowing more significant incidents to stand out. Any associated queues or delays will be reported on the side affected, but to be sure of picking up all of our reports it's best to check both directions of travel.
Your report of the works taking place at J11 has been passed back to our traffic reporters, and should appear on the site soon.

There are some inaccuracies in the way our database calculates road lengths, and these particularly show up on circular routes, for which our apologies.
The actual length of the M25 is around 117 miles, but Dartford and Purfleet are obviously only a few miles apart as the crow flies, and this is the disparity which causes the calculation to go wrong in this instance.
The majority of road length calculations are pretty accurate, as these approximate to the straight line distance, but if you see any others which seem wide of the mark please let us know.

Re: Trips around Dorset

Hi there. This is most likely due to the way our delay data is compiled.
Our delay information is gathered from real journey times reported by probe vehicles carrying GPS units; as they progress on their journey the time taken to travel their route is continually compared against the expected time for that section of road. Any difference detected is then reported as a delay.
Once a road is closed, no vehicles are able to travel and no delay information is received or published for that route. Instead, a report of the road being closed is published against that section.
We are currently not able to publish suggested alternative routes together with a delay relative to taking the more direct journey, but the easiest way to make the comparison for yourself is to trawl other local routes using the 'search for traffic' link.
Hope that helps!

Reporting a problem by Text

Hello,
Why is there no facility to report a jam by text or on the keepmoving/mobile website (obviously, pulling over at a safe place to do so)? Few mobile phone companies will charge the BT rate you quote of 3.95p per minute to report a problem which is probably putting people off reporting hold-ups. And I imagine few people are thinking about reporting on their journey by the time they get home to their BT line.

Re: Creating Routes

Thank you for your comment. Currently it is not possible to choose your exact route yourself.
It seems that all routing engines will choose the M56/A556/A56 route to get from Manchester to the M6. However to force the engine to use the M62, start from Salford. Then put in Cirencester as a via point which will then correct the route at the end.

In most cases the routing engine returns the right route, but as routing, by it's very nature, is highly personal, it can be a case of trial and error before you get it right. We hope this advice helps with your journey.
Have a safe journey!

fog / high intensity lights / indicators

Is there some new members only club that requires its drivers to drive with their front fog lights on all the time? Is it supposed to look "cool". I'm sick to death of being blinded by *****s who drive in wet conditions on dark roads with headlights and fog lights on. Headlights dip. Fog lights don't. The Highway Code gives useful guidance on the use of front and rear fog lights, and it's about time that drivers took a look at it.

And whilst I'm ranting, isn't correct use of indicators taught in driving lessons any more? This seems to be a particular fault of BMW drivers. When I was receiving instruction prior to taking the IAM driving test, I was advised that 4 seconds of indication in a motorway / dual carriageway overtaking manoeuvre should be adopted. Trust me; that's more than one flash of an indicator!

SatNavs

Despite the reports of HGVs going down farm roads, cars ending on top of pigsties, more and more drivers are depending on these 'aids'. Those who become reliant upon them will get more and more frustrated with the results. No SatNav is completely reliable.
Good maps are much better for routing and for finding alternatives when necessary. And my experience is that SatNavs can lead you down one way roads the wrong way, tell you to turn right where right turns are expressly forbidden, make unnecessary detours, pick longer routes and most dangerous of all distract drivers.
So I like to have some fun with the installed SatNav in my car. I let it set the route, but take my own route and listen to my wife telling me where it 'thinks' I should be going and how I should turn off to rejoin the set route. Heigh ho and away to go; best in car game I've ever come across, especially when that disembodied female voice keeps repeating new directions that could be so costly in fuel!!

Re: Why no reports?

Hi Millennia, I'm sorry the information you received did not match your experience. This may be due to the way your route is set up as well as some of our rules for how we report delays. We did report the overturned lorry and closure of the M4 between J26 and J24 from before 6am and these reports should have continued right through the morning.
Our policy is not to report delays affecting closed stretches of road, as traffic may remain trapped for a long period of time unrelated to measured road speed. Police advice was not to join the motorway after J28, so no delays were reported after this point.
We were reporting the delays affecting the stretch between J30-J28 approaching the closure, although this may not be on your daily route. We did record extensive delays on the A48 around Newport, but again these would not be reported if that road is not part of your route. I'm surprised you didn't see the reports of the closure, but this may be due to which junction where you exit

Re: LPG

Our fuel price comparisons are updated regularly overnight from data made available to us by the petrol retail industry.

As yet, the number of outlets for LPG are far less numerous than for petrol/diesel products, so for many route requests there would simply be no data to return.

As a result we currently have no plans to include prices for LPG in our comparisons, and the number of outlets would need to increase significantly before we would consider taking steps to do so.

The A48 alternate route through Newport eastbound is still solid as a result of this - I'm amazed there have been no reports on this section and my set route through this is marked as clear.

Re: Audio report for pre-set routes

Hi

You're quite right in that this is a commercial service designed to generate revenue, but the removal of the routes feature has nothing to do with this.

We created the route specific feature a couple of years ago and we only generated a small number of users. The ability to edit or create a new route via the website (and listen to it through the phone service) has been unavailable for 18 months now - although it continued to remain in place on the phone line for those who set up a route beforehand. As you may have noticed, we have entered a partnership to provide this service to the RAC. It wasn't possible to offer the original web based sign up via the RAC website and so this left us with an RAC branded service offering journey specific traffic which new callers could not benefit from. We therefore had no choice but to remove the feature.

I do apologise for any inconvenience this has caused. We'll be reviewing the functionality in the New Year and we hope to offer an alter

Re: Journey time

Hi there,

Having consulted our database of expected journey times, it suggests that 40 minutes might be a more realistic timing for this journey, assuming you stick to the main A13 and A12, but with regular delays of 15-20 minutes expected in the morning peak and 10-15 minutes in the evening, so it may be best to allow an hour for the commute to be on the safe side until you become more familiar with the traffic flows.

Hope that helps!

Re: Information For My Journey To Work

Thank you both for your comments, and for all those others who have raised queries about 'Option 2'

Regretfully, we have taken the decision to remove this option from our services. Analysis showed that it was not being taken up by many callers to the service, and the decision was taken to shorten the introductory menus by removing it. This change is gradually being introduced across all of our phone services.

The option to hear traffic local to your locaton is still available by pressing 'Option 3' on most services, although technical reasons mean we unfortunately cannot offer this on the 0845-TRAFFIC service.

Whilst apologising for the inconvenience, we trust you will find that these changes do not detract from the overall usefulness of the service

Re: Email alert time

That's pretty much the option we would recommend!

Because of the large volume of mails and alerts processed each day, they are sent out in batches at approximately 20-minute intervals; so your set routes will be scanned for delays and incidents present at around that time. This also gives you the option of setting off early if a delay is detected on your route.

work2home service

Hi,

I have tried e-mailing keep moving but to no avail.

I have a 130 mile journey to work and really valued the 'work2home' service via my mobile on 64644 and dialing 2. I was surprised to learn by default that is was no longer available and without any prior notification.

The alternative of calling up all of the roads on route is time consuming, expensive and potentially unsafe if users are wrongly tempted to try whilst driving.

I know many people who used the service and remain surprised and sceptical about its apparent unpopularity. I found out about the service through 'word of mouth', as did all of my friends and colleagues. If the service was reactivated and advertised on your website even at a higher call charge, perhaps more people might use it?

If the service is no longer to be made available then frankly it is cheaper to resort to competitor services

Audio report for pre-set routes

I am going to state that the single most useful area of your services has been removed by not allowing us to dial in and check our preset route. This I suspect is simply because you make more money by keeping us on the phone longer than the 10 secs to be told our route is clear when we dial in and press "2". Clearly its in your interest for us to have to keep on the phone for ages to check road by road, listen to the entire length of that motorway before getting to the relevant bit too.

I dont believe you that it was because of small numbers of users - I believe you are simply generating income.

Please reinstate it, it was the most useful traffic service out there. Now you are not.

Re: Missing Road - A6044 (Agecroft Road)

Hi Kev,
The reason for this is that the road listings on KeepMoving are limited to those routes for which we publish delays, and this stretch of the A6044 is not currently included, although we do reporting any major traffic incidents and accidents which affect it.
There are a number of reasons why a route might not be covered, including its strategic importance, levels of vehicle flow, and demand for information.
Ultimately we aim to cover all A-roads, and new ones are added at regular intervals. The next update is due later this year, but I can’t promise the A6044 will be included at that stage.
In the meantime, depending on the exact route you follow, you should be able to select any of the A56 Bury New Road, A665 Bury Old Road or A576 Middleton Road, which may produce a route closer to the one you follow.
Hope that helps!

Shouldn't this be done automagically for contraflow situations as they are going to have the same effects on both sides of the carriageway?

Timescales and delays

My route takes in the A1198, A505, A1, M25 and M4. The 76-mile route I set up has a normal journey time of 1h 38m. This is 'optimistic' to say the least, as during the 3h 'rush-hour' I've never achieved it in less than 2h, often longer. There are 'Centipede' stop-Timescales and delayss on the A1 and M25 each and every day for 10-15 mile sections of both these roads, but these conditions are never indicated on the website. I'm just of the opinion that the route timings for these overloaded roads should realistically reflect average timings during the business day, rather than at 04.00, at which time the stated duration is theoretically possible!

I wonder if users do phone in these delays and if they are noted, or if not would it help the routing algorithm if we did regularly report the delays?

Wrong location

I have reported this before but nothing appears to get done to correct this. The roadworks for roundabout construction at the Mattishall Road junction on the A47 is not at New Costessey but at Honingham. The location as depicted is even incorrect on the map as the correct location is to the west of Easton not to the east of it. It seems pointless putting up traffic information and indicators on a map if they are at least 5 miles out. A check on multimap or streetmap will show Honingham clearly as being nowhere near New Costessey. Even my earlier e-mail I sent was totally ignored makes one wonder how much more information on this site is as inaccurate at this is.
The roadworks affect both east and westbound as this is a single carriageway road.

However when setting up alternatives due to very nasty roadworks on bridge, I wanted route via M56, M6 thelwall and along M62. It will insist on taking me off the M6 and back on again at one junction and I can't get it to stop. I think its the A57 but I can't go back into my route as the info button doesn't work.

setting vias

This site is very nearly very useful. The details that stop it being useful for me are:

i) Creating routes is really a bit slow. This maybe wouldn't be such a big problem if there was a useful progress indication so you could tell whether it was still working or whether it, or the connection to it, had died.

ii) More seriously, it is really rather difficult to get it to take the route that you really want.

While the routing algorithm does seem to find a reasonable, best-guess, route, one of the uses I have for this, rather than say, a Sat Nav, is that you can use it compare the 'default' route with a nominally slightly worse route which is less susceptible to delays. The trouble is that the routing interface makes this hard.

In my case, I was trying to route from Melbourn to the NEC. Its choice of routing, via the M11/A14/M6 would be my normal preference, but it is a route very susceptible to delays, so the point was to examine alternatives.

An alternative, A1198/A428/

Waste of time

I joined today as I thought it would be very handy to plan a route and also see the routes I was going to travel so as to avoide things as road works.

I have been on every area and nearly every camera in every area tonight and they are all blank. What I thought would be an excellent site is a waste of time. I can get a route planner anywhere, but to see the roads before you leave would have been a big advantage to stop me adding to the congestion.

I appreciate the Highways operate the cameras, but come on it needs Keep Moving to take them to task on this, the whole thing comes out of the taxpayers money, we want to avoide giving them further congestion, so play the game and turn the flaming cameras on. I dont know why they say that in bad weather they turn them off, that is just the time you need to see the damn thing.

I hate to say this but if this is what it is normally like then this will prob be my last visit

I'll try a few more times over the next few days, then un-subscribe.

On Friday while travelling west on this road at around 5pm, the signs erected said that this road would be closed in both directions "from Monday to Friday". We travelled this route today (Sunday) at around 6pm only to find that the road had been closed a day earlier than stated. Had to divert all the way back to Balloch to follow the diversion signs - what a waste of time and diesel.

Average speed

Is anybody else fed up with this '30' average speed limit on the A316 between Sunbury Cross and Apex corner. I know I am. I stick to the 30mph because firstly I know it is for the safety of the men working on the road, but secondly I do not want a fine and possible points on my license.
Is my speedometer not working correctly! as I find a lots of cars, vans and bikes pass me doing a fair speed. Are they not afraid or are the cameras not working? Does anybody know?
I was coming home last night 'Southbound' around 9pm, hardly any traffic on that stretch. Nobody working on the road. I could have done with knowing if I could have travelled faster than '30'.
I would appreciate a reply from anybody with any experience. Or even somebody that has been caught going over the limit.

Re: new camera site

Hi,

The CCTV is a great addition to our site, provided courtesy of the Highways Agency, and we hope you find it interesting. Unfortunately there are a number of factors which may result in the cameras being unavailable or switched off. For example, major roadworks may eliminate cameras for a whole stretch, or a serious incident may lead to the cameras being unavailable for a specific location.

Today there have been a higher number of incidents than usual due to the severe weather; so with a higher number of incidents, a higher number of cameras will be unavailable as a result. Whilst many cameras will be available at times, it is beyond our control so the level of availability will fluctuate.

We hope you're able to view more of the cameras when you check back in a few days.

Thank you for your comment.

Re: what Happened

In answer to your question the problem on the A8 near to Edinburgh Airport was caused by roadworks. At the height of the problem the queue was from the A8 to the Fife side of the Forth Road bridge, on the M9 to beyond J2 and on the A89 to Broxburn. These congestion points were all incorporated into the main incident.
We hope that solves the mystery for you. Drive carefully!

More appropriate cheap fuel results

Discovered your site for the first time today...

Following on from Jezmck earlier comment it would make a lot of sense to be able to have a field under the vehicle section of the registered user's profile that allows you to specify fuel type - Unleaded, Deisel, Both (if more than one vehicle).

This would then be used to automatically filter the cheapest fuel results that would be of better relevence to the user.

check fuel prices search

Would it not be easier to be able to enter a postcode or town to find the location as some roads are very long and therefore the result could be many miles away from the location you want the cheapest prices for?

And while I'm at it why must you have to enter a motorway and junction details before being allowed to make a comment. Can we not have a comment type "non-road" related which doesn't force you to enter these details?

Is is possible for the traffic reports to be related to my route entered into the web site. The reason for the question is that esp.

Thank you for your comment. As we send all sms alerts at a cost to ourselves we are unable to justify offering two a day to each customer. We find that the daily emails work well as they are sent whether or not there are any problems on your route. The sms alerts are only sent if there is a problem on your route. We find that most of our members are near a computer before they set off for home in the evening so are able to check their emails and keepmoving, where as in the morning its far more convenient to just receive an sms if there is a problem.

Re: Cheap fuel

Dear Administrator
I don't like stopping to fill up with fuel on my journey if I can avoid it I prefer to keep going. I usually fill up near home so I have enough fuel before I set off.

I do about 40k miles per year so I fill up pretty frequently.

I accept that some people will look for fuel on their journey and are happy to do so but there are also loads of people who want to know where the cheapest fuel is in a particular area.

It would be good to have a choice of road and area.

It seems that lots of people have requested this...so maybe it really is a good idea.
Meantime I'll be disloyal and check on another website.

Re: Cheap fuel

Wouldn't let me add a comment of my own, so adding to this one

Your obviously trying to compete with the other good website that gives you prices in a specific location. Your idea of finding petrol stations on a route is a very good idea. However

a) It would be good for you to also offer the option of a fixed location search - then we would most probably use just your website and not both!

b) The route search for petrol stations seems limited to a certain distance from your route. It would be good to have the option of how far from your route you would be wiling to travel eg 1mile, 5 miles, 10 miles. Also, the route search has limtations for moterways as although a petrol station will show up as next to a moterway, you might need to go a long distance to the next junction before being able to access that petrol station.

Re: Cheap fuel

Thanks for the comment. It's a request we seem to be getting a lot, so I thought I'd like to detail the thought process that went into the first version of the tool.

Y'see, KeepMoving and the other site attract different kinds of visitors. Visitors to the other site come there solely for the petrol price information. KeepMoving's visitors come for traffic, and the petrol is offered in addition to this. We've integrated it with the existing site features to make it handy and relevant.

Re: Cheap fuel

Second reason we did it why we did was that we used *the other site*. I put in my home postcode, and it came back with some obscure little petrol station way out in an industrial park in Old Trafford. It was no use. I wasn't going to go on a little adventure to save a few quid. I wanted to

But now, after about a month of looking at the site traffic, turns out that people are visiting it just for the petrol prices. And some people (like you grackliff) will happily pootle about for the sake of a few quid.

We've just taken on another developer here at KeepMoving. We've got plans, and they're being shaped by your feedback.

How can I look for cheap petrol in an area, rather than on a set route?

Guildford's not a big town and for the sake of saving a few quid on a tank of petrol I'd be happy to alter my route by a few hundred yards but your cheap petrol search only looks on an immediate route.

Is there any way to search an area? (Particularly when the route I try to put in just WON'T go!)

thanks.

A96 "Re-Surfacing"

This is not resurfacing. This is a major restructuring including access to new Tesco supermarket and traffic flow changes. One lane of the A96 is closed and although not bad at the moment when the schools go back there will be major delays. Just like when they did the other end of town.

Re: Hey Keep Moving whats happened with your website

I never found the journey time predictions to be accurate enough to be of value, so I don't miss them! Love the new website though; much quicker and a much more "community" feel - wouldn't like to share my registration number particularly, though!!

Re: Hey Keep Moving whats happened with your website

I agree totally. The new website isn't user friendly at all. It doesn't seem to give the same level of information or reports between junctions. I can only get the audio reports to work randomly. I used to rely heavenly on the website for my M40 journey every day but now it doesn't seem that useful at all. It's not at all up to date information!!

Shame as it was such a good site before!

Re: Hey Keep Moving whats happened with your website

Hi everybody and thanks for the very useful comments. Generally speaking, we have spent a considerable amount of time addressing the overall usability of the site. One of the common areas of feedback we received about the old site (v2) was that for a first time user, there was too much going on and so the key point of the site wasn't clear. That's why we've gone for a far simpler landing page (which will change over the coming months) and a far more detailed traffic information summary page, which works both for a road and a route. We hope that this presents a clear and detailed summary of the traffic information. The personalised dashboard is supposed to appeal to our established users - there you can set up as many routes as you wish and an indication of traffic problems is provided, as well as the opportunity to load up a detailed traffic summary of those routes. There's 2 things we've removed - a) journey times and b) the eyewitness zone (which displays the audio.) Continued below.

Your system says this road has been closed for months

According to your system the A420 Eastbound -- one of the main roads into Oxford -- has been closed since May 11th. Not very likely and since I've driven on it every day this week I can assure you quite untrue. It seems you received the closure notice 1 minute after the message saying the closure was finished and have had the status wrong ever since...

I got a "notice to prosecute" recently for doing 38mph in this stretch. Don't actually think I was going that fast as a average speed, but it does show the cameras are being used. It's a real pain as I now have to really watch my speed through it every time.

What's happening A41 Noth to Bicester?

Coming from Aylesbury this evening (Thurs 3-7-08) trying to get to Bicester Village before 7pm close. Took 45 mins to do 2 miles - gave up - and still nowhere near Bicester. The information on this site says a few mins only delay... Wrong!

Love the new traffic cameras

Yours is a much better implementation than the BBC JamCams - they were their first but their script seems to load every camera in the country(taking ages and timing out) rather than letting you select a road. Well done.

As you can never tell what direction the HA have left their camera it is difficult to tell which side of the carriageway has the jam - unless it's sunny when you can do some boy scouts work on direction of shadows and where the sun would be etc..

Incident on 21 June (Yesterday) between Clevedon and Weston-Super-Mare

Hi there, I'm not sure whether I can ask for witnesses of incidents here.

If you were travelling between Clevedon (J20) to Weston-Super-Mare (J21) yesterday between the hours of 5pm and 5:45 pm, and saw an incident as follows, please contact me at rep@irit.co.uk.

Yesterday between the hours of 5pm and 5:45pm, we (Me, My father, my sister, and father's partner) were harrased by either alcohol or drug using people. 2 Males (1 black 1 white). Then repeatedly tried maneuvering around us dangerously, braking, and one point actually stopping in the middle lane on the motorway, trying to get us to pull over to the hard shoulder, to settle this with physical solutions. My father tried dodging every dangerous attempt to do so, all the way down to the slip road to Weston-Super-Mare (J21). At which point, half way down the slip road they stopped in front of us completely, nearly making a collision and haulting the traffic onto the Weston-Super-Mare turn-off. The black man got out, and Incident

more roadworks!

Sorry but I was shocked when I saw that there are more roadworks more roadworks!ing on the 23rd of June. Anybody knows for how long and which area will be affected? Also, anybody knows who plans the schedule of these works? First 6-7 months of roadwords, followed by more than a week devoted to "cut the grass" and now more road words again! Couldn't they cut the grass while doing the works, so they don't have to disrupt the traffic twice? Just a bit fed up of traffic jams on the A55.
