1. Public Informational Purpose & Limitation of Liability
UK Road Closures (ukroadclosures.eu) provides aggregated road traffic telemetry, carriageway closure reports, and historical collision statistics for informational and route-planning guidance only.
While incident data is retrieved directly from official National Highways Datex II XML feeds and Department for Transport STATS19 records, traffic conditions on the live highway network change dynamically. We cannot guarantee that all incidents are reported without delay or that predicted clearance countdowns represent legally binding reopening times.
2. Driver Responsibility & UK Highway Code Compliance
Under Regulation 110 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 and Section 41D of the Road Traffic Act 1988, it is a criminal offence to hold and use a mobile phone or interactive device while driving a motor vehicle.
Drivers must check route status prior to departure or while parked safely in designated motorway service areas. Physical road signage, electronic overhead gantry signs (including variable mandatory speed limits and red ‘X’ lane closure signals), and police directions take absolute precedence over digital mapping or web radar displays.
