Plan your trip
To plan your next road trip using Live Traffic NSW enter your origin and destination locations to see three route suggestions. These route suggestions are provided by Google™. Each route suggestion shows the estimated travel time and any hazards or changed traffic conditions affecting the route. You can also choose to display Rest Areas or Traffic Cameras along the route.
Road closures
Polylines on Live Traffic are used to indicate when roads are fully closed in both directions. See the incident advice to find exclusions, such as residential access or access for 4WDs.
If a road is opened in one direction or open to light vehicles, the polyline will be removed from Live Traffic NSW. Always read the incident advice as different restrictions may apply to different vehicle types (height, width, weight, oversize and over mass). If there is no alternative or detour route specifically suggested for your vehicle type contact the Transport Management Centre on 131 700 before travelling.
