DON’T get stuck in traffic – use the RAC’s free traffic information programme to stay on the move.

Available to business car drivers who use Apple’s iPhone or Google’s Android phones, the new mobile phone application, the first by RAC, is progressive amongst traffic apps as it shows start and end points of congestion, overlayed onto Google Maps.

The app pinpoints the user’s exact location, meaning an immediate view of regional traffic is easily at hand. Text and audio summaries of traffic conditions are also available.

This level of detail will give motorists the most precise and accurate view of live traffic conditions on the UK’s roads that is currently available on a mobile phone app. RAC’s app utilises up-to-the-minute traffic updates from Trafficlink, which provides real-time traffic information.

The app is free to download, and is available for both iPhone and Google Android phones. Motorists can download the app at the iTunes App Store and Android Market.
