New Zealand road awareness
Road Alert
Background road alerts for drivers who need to know what is ahead before they reach it.
What it does
Driver awareness without turning the app into navigation.
Background alerts
Uses location permission and notifications to alert drivers near relevant road events, even when the app is not open.
Weigh station awareness
Alerts approaching drivers near known weigh station locations and asks for good-faith open or closed confirmation after passing.
Community feedback
Lets users report incidents, flag incorrect locations, and send suggestions that can be reviewed by Road Alert operations.
Safety first
Built for awareness, not interaction while driving.
Road Alert is a driver awareness tool. Alerts may be delayed, inaccurate, incomplete, or unavailable. Drivers must always follow road signs, official directions, Police instructions, posted speed limits, and commercial driving obligations.
No driving interaction
Reports should be submitted by a passenger or only when safely stopped and legally parked.
Good-faith reporting
False, unsafe, abusive, or private information can be moderated, archived, or removed.
Official directions win
The app does not replace road signs, emergency services, transport agencies, or legal obligations.
Data and privacy
Clear about location use.
Road Alert uses location data to compare a device position with alert locations and to attach coordinates to reports submitted by users. Road Alert does not sell personal data.
