Directing the trafficmaster
For a dozen or so years I have had a ‘Trafficmaster’ device on my dashboard that indicated when motorways and other major roads ahead were congested. It operated via sensors and transmitters on bridges over the road.
This often prompted a call to a premium rate line. Recently the information has not been forthcoming when I have approached motorway junctions. Has the service been withdrawn?

Yes. It has been replaced by a new smartphone service. Go to: trafficmaster.co.uk/content/1/85/freeway-and-oracle.html
