Roadworks in your area
Tip:
Found this really handy tool/website for knowing about potential driving delays due to roadworks in the UK. Site is just a big map, but you can zoom in or search for an area of the map of interest. Red alert means delays likely, yellow means delays possible while green means delays unlikely. You can also set up email warnings for area you specify, and get current live traffic updates. Very useful http://roadworks.org/
