"Route Scanner uses live traffic information (e.g. accidents, roadworks and delays) combined with a route planner to calculate which incidents could affect that particular journey. It combines the power of Google Maps with the real-time information provided by BBC Travel and the Highways Agency. Route Scanner doesn't just look for traffic and travel updates on motorways and other major roads but through the road network."
