Transport NSW is in the process of training Councils across the region to access the Live Traffic NSW Portal. The OneRoad portal allows individual Councils to update the status of their road networks to include closures, hazards and upcoming scheduled works.

The Walgett Shire Council is pleased to announce they are now actively involved in the OneRoad Program. This will enable Council to update road conditions in real-time and ensure motorists receive the latest information.

The Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway said “We know Live Traffic NSW is vital during emergency events. When major flooding started late last year, sessions on Live Traffic NSW increased up to 10-fold, so getting more accurate data for all of our roads in the one place is a big win for travellers.”

Under this new system, motorists can access information previously posted on Council’s website and social media via the Live Traffic site and third-party apps such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, and TomTom.
