Queensland State Government, Australia, has launched a new app, QLDTraffic, a new traffic and travel information service providing the latest news about incidents and conditions on the road.

QLDTraffic offers a journey-planning website and free app, maps detailing where and when incidents are occurring on Queensland roads to enable drivers to check current traffic conditions to make informed decisions about their travel route.  

Users can plan their journey by address or landmark and select their preferred route and mode of transport from multiple recommendations, as well as viewing estimated arrival times. They can filter traffic information by event type such as crash, flooding, roadworks or hazard, while looking at active and planned events on a specific date.

The data comes from a variety of sources including traffic management centres, local and state government authorities and members of the public to provide users with accurate information about what’s happening on the roads.
