Polls and Surveys | Motoring

We are planning to bring back polls and surveys on UK Traffic News. For many years this section let visitors vote on motoring questions and see how everyone else had voted. We took the old polls down some time ago, and we are now putting together a new set for the users of all our traffic news websites.

What we want to ask you

The aim is simple: to hear from the people who actually use the roads, and who use our websites to check them. We expect the polls and surveys to cover three broad areas.

Traffic on the UK’s roads. What do you think about traffic in the UK today? Which journeys cause you the most delay, and at what times of day? Has your commute got better or worse? Short, quick questions like these, with the results shared so you can see what other drivers think.

Individual motorways and roads. Many of our visitors use one road far more than any other, whether that is the M25, the M1, the M4 or the M6. We would like to ask about particular roads: the junctions that give you the most trouble, the roadworks that have affected you, and what would make the biggest difference to your journey.

Our websites. We want your feedback on how our websites work for you. Is the news quick and easy to read? Can you find the road and the direction you need? Is there information you would like to see that we do not show yet? Your comments and suggestions will help decide what we build next.

How it will work

Each poll will be short, usually one question, and will take a few seconds to answer. Longer surveys will be occasional and optional. We will not ask for your name, and you will never need to register to take part. Where it is useful, we will publish a summary of the results on the relevant website.

Until the first polls are live, the best place for the latest traffic information is our motorways pages, or Traffic News England for the whole of England.
