Built for drivers

Useful at a glance, quiet when it needs to be.

Road Alert is made for awareness. It is not a replacement for road signs, official instructions, speed limits, Police directions, route planning, or driver judgement.

Planned features

Road Alert is being built in stages.

01

Route-aware alerts

More precise alerting based on the road a driver is actually travelling on, not just a broad radius.

02

Turn-by-turn navigation

Planned navigation support for general vehicles, with Road Alert events layered into the journey.

03

Truck and permit routing

Planned support for heavy vehicles and trucks travelling on permits, subject to reliable routing and restriction data.

Safe use

Do not interact with the app while driving.

Reports should be submitted by a passenger, or by the driver only when safely stopped and legally parked. Alerts are advisory only and may be delayed, incorrect or unavailable.

Official directions come first Always follow signs, road authorities, emergency services and Police instructions.
Good-faith reporting False, abusive, private or unsafe reports can be moderated or removed.
Privacy matters Road Alert does not sell personal data. Location is used to provide road awareness features.
