How to get your road users out of a jam: reducing congestion around roadworks

June 8th 2017 / Marketing M/ Links: Route Safety Network Management Journey Time Monitoring Traffic Flow Monitoring

Understanding when congestion is most likely to occur, and where, can help drivers plan accordingly, whether that means setting off early or taking an alternative route.
