M4 South Wales Corridor
Monitor the nation's busiest road. Track conditions from the Severn Bridges through Newport and Cardiff to Swansea and Llanelli. Essential for navigating the heart of South Wales.
A55 North Wales Expressway

Cardiff & Newport Urban
Track traffic in the capital and its neighboring city. Monitor the A48, the A4232 Butetown Link, and the primary commuter arteries feeding into the city centers.
Regional Trunk Roads
Monitor the essential A-roads connecting the north and south, including the A470 and A483. Vital for tracking weather and road conditions across the interior.
Strategic Oversight of the Welsh Road Network
The Welsh road network is a critical component of the nation's infrastructure, managed by the Welsh Government and Transport for Wales (TfW). In 2024, total road traffic volume in Wales reached 30.2 billion vehicle kilometers (bvk), with major roads accounting for over 64% of this flow (Source: gov.wales).
The M4 and A55 remain the undisputed backbones of the system. On its busiest days, the M4 carries over 1.2 million journeys, with the highest volumes consistently observed around Newport, Cardiff, and Swansea (Source: Traffic Wales). The A55 is equally vital, serving as the primary link for nearly a million journeys during peak holiday weekends.

Navigating the M4's Legendary Congestion
The M4 in South Wales, particularly around the Brynglas Tunnels in Newport, is one of the most consistently congested stretches of road in the United Kingdom. This bottleneck regularly handles approximately 100,000 vehicles daily, with delays often exceeding 25 minutes during peak morning and evening rush hours (Source: CBI/Verve Innovation).
TrafficVision's Interactive Map allows Welsh drivers to stay ahead of the gridlock. By zooming into the Newport interchanges or checking the Grid View for a quick scan of the Cardiff bypass (A48M), you can confirm whether a reported accident is worth a detour before you leave home.
