Description

QLDTraffic is the official source of live traffic and travel information from the Queensland Government. It lets you check traffic conditions and plan your journey before you drive.
Managed by the Department of Transport and Main Roads, QLDTraffic provides information on road conditions throughout Queensland, including crashes and hazards, road closures and restrictions, roadworks and special events. The app also provides access to web cameras that relay near real-time traffic imagery.
Add your favourite routes to the app, like the trip to the office or a car journey to school, and QLDTraffic will inform you of traffic issues on the way. It’ll even send you personalised push notifications if something happens on your favourite routes, so that you’ll know before you go.
FEATURES
· Save favourite routes and places to receive personalised traffic alerts as push notifications
· See live traffic alerts and events on a map
· Filter traffic alerts to see:
o What’s happening on your routes or around your current location
o Incidents near your calendar events (if you’ve set a location for the event)
o Crashes, flooding, and hazards
o Road closures and restrictions
o Roadworks and special events
o Traffic flow and congestion
o Traffic web cameras
· Add a route by searching for a way to drive
· Use travel mode while you’re on the move to get live traffic alerts throughout your journey
o Travel mode includes audio announcements, so you can continue to pay attention to the road.
· Add custom routes by recording your trip in travel mode
Please note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

What's New in Version 1.9.45

Fixed an issue where the “Near calendar locations” options was not displaying. Added map pin clustering to improve the performance of the map rendering all nearby Incidents.

Always Refreshing

The app gets annoying sometimes because it’s always refreshing every 3 secs. Also when things have happened like floods, vehicle accidents and so on the app doesn’t need to be updated every 3 secs due to long delays. How about every 10mins as people normally find out before the app finishes there 2000th update when a road opens to 4WD only and then conventional vehicles etc.

If you are looking for old information about road closures or crashes this is the spot. There’s no current information on this site it’s next to useless.

What is the point of this app???

This app doesn’t do anything at all. Doesn’t show you anything. It is useless? I don’t understand the point. Most pointless app I’ve ever downloaded. Does Not Show Rest Areas Either.

Too slow with the information

Very quick to put up road closures on the app, extremely slow at putting them down. The information during flooding events is far too slowly updated. A review by another user from three years ago says the same thing and the developer has stated it is a top priority to be fixed. This has clearly not been the case

Slow to update

Difficult to navigate, the filter function is virtually useless. Important information about road closures is sometimes days old and inaccurate. People are better off joining a Facebook page for real time updates.

Mackay/Whitsunday Traffic/Flood Cameras

Still no flood cameras for Mackay/Whitsunday Region. What is going on TMR? Apparently nothing :( poor response from TMR blaming “remoteness” what the? The cameras along the Bruce Highway near Proserpine like Myrtle Creek and Goorganga Plains etc are not remote and are near mobile towers. Where did you install the other cameras? Llanarth? Seriously TMR Mackay is the worst district to live in, they are terrible compared to other districts.

Accuracy is not timely. No regular updates

To be useful, this information needs to be as close to ‘real time’ as practical. One example that affects me is the roads around Thargomindah and Yowah areas are still shown as closed or 4WD only which was the situation October 2022 - that’s 20 months ago.

Pity queensland did not purchase an app from the developer who made the NSW app , at least it would have been useable then.

Please! Please! Please update!

This app is basically useless as it is not updating as to what roads are NOT open during the last few days/weeks of flooding! If it’s flooded, forget it we are being told Ad nauseam but if you updated what roads are flooded sensible people would either avoid the flooded areas or stay home! Sorry but you are not encouraging people to act/drive safely at all!!!

30/01/2024: Went to Check the app with all the rain we are having and all I get is flood information from 2022. When is the last time this was updated? This is of no value whatsoever.

Current flooding road closures are not in the app. Most recent is October 2022, which doesn’t exactly help anyone given the current situation. Will the app be updated any time soon?

Map

Ridiculously small map. Should be able to see the whole state on a full page similar to NSW incidents app. Very disappointed.

Hopeless. Never up to date

Not worth having as the app is never updated with latest road information even when there is a major incident on a major freeway like a traffic accident.
If the app worked like the NSW live traffic app with constant updates of incidents and indicating incidents in current location it would be a whole lot better.

Rubbish

This app is absolutely useless. I am currently stuck in Mackay due to flooding over the Bruce Hwy which is closed in several places between Calen and Prosepine yet it shows nothing on the app.

Dangerously inaccurate

Info rarely updated, shows roads closed from months ago that are not closed and doesn’t show current closures due to floods. Should be removed from access.

No use to man nor beast!

The app frequently hangs and is painfully slow to zoom and move around. Still shows the road as being closed to Lark Quarry…but we drove it easily today. Was last updated 3 days ago which is just not good enough. Frequent updates and better local knowledge of roads required!!!

Lousy on an iPad

Hi tried this app may be fine on a phone but on my iPad Pro it windows to a small mobile size screen that I cannot find any way of fixing.
It does work on the iPad but acts as if on a iPhone too much text not yes of available iPad screen

Opens on a small phone sized screen on an iPad. This makes expanding and reading maps difficult, particularly for older people.

Keeps sending me through flooded roads

Why doesn’t the app route you around a closed road? Why on earth would I want to go on a journey and wait for a flood to go down for a few days before continuing if there is any way possible to avoid it?

Need serious improvements

Just downloaded the apps today to check the flood affected roads. When using the map, it seems ok. However when trying to plan a route , even for a 5 min drive, the apps doesn’t work. Has to revert to IPhone map or Google map.
BitCoiniser
2022-02-28

Useless

Given the recent situation with the weather in and around Brisbane, it is essential that clear concise information be given about flooded areas and routes. The App as it currently stands is slow and buggy and is very hard to navigate. It doesn’t seem to display the full areas of flood closures and even turning roadworks off, some closures are still noted as roadwork related, not flooding! An absolute mess compared to the NSW live traffic app. Perhaps an agreement could be reached enabling Queensland to utilise NSWs technology as currently both the website and app are not for for purpose, especially on mobile devices.

2022-02-28

Terrible App

This application is not working properly. The links to cameras work but the travel plan feature does not. Spent 10-20 mins trying to check for road closures during a heavy rain event but would not even load. Deleting this app and is a waste of tax payers money.

A Garbage

Completely useless when you need it, like all Australian government websites and apps, i am sure our government spent few million dollars on this app from tax payers pocket to make this rubbish app when they can just update road conditions on the google map easily and free.
Daniel Shad
2022-02-27

Slow, lacks info & “only” TMR

The road closure info needs to be updated more often in a rapidly-changing situation such as a flood event. The map is slow to use: clunky to move and zoom in or out. There are different coloured stripes on roads, which presumably indicate something about their accessibility, but there is no explanation anywhere in the app or online about exactly what the colour codes mean. Finally, when using the function to search for a specific road, MOST roads are “not TMR controlled roads” and therefore there is no data available about them. Can you really not get your collective selves together in 2022 and stop splitting hairs over who is responsible for what and just give us the info we need?!!

Utterly useless

Crashes randomly for no reason. Tried to use it to check on flooding around brisbane but it just fails to even plan a journey, let alone show info on a map. And it uses Google for journey planning.. so why not just use Google maps? Rubbish

Worst app of all time

Would honestly be easier to jump in the car and try every single route until you find one not closed. Why can’t you just filter the map by road closures ? Totally useless app and website.

Embarrassing!

I have such low expectations when I see government / councils try to invent anything tech or new & I wasn’t let down this time.
Clunky, slow & really amateur.
Can’t even get the maps to load the details before the next APPLE OS has been realised (jokes) but you get the idea.
Waze uses a bit of power but leaves app in the dust.

Why are the cameras so lo res?

Why is it, that we can stream YouTube, Netflix and a million other services in HD with 60frames per second, and anyone can get a $30 webcam from eBay and stream HD from their BEDROOM, but the Qld road cameras are not only super low resolution, but only update at about 1 frame per minute???? Can someone please explain that to me?

Difficult to navigate

I got this app to check for the quickest route. I found it difficult to navigate and doesn’t show the estimated travel time on the map itself. Google maps is easier to quickly choose the best route

Outdated information

The map is cluttered with outdated information. For example, Hazards in Broken Hill, last updated two months ago. Also, Eungai Creek, updated 4 weeks ago and dated 17 March. It’s now June.

Awful

This app is absolutely awful. There was severe traffic congestion on the Bruce Highway this afternoon the app told me my route from Narangba to Buderim would be 55 minutes. I joined the Bruce highway confident the accident must have been cleared only to sit in a jam for hours. It’s pathetic. Use this app at your peril.

Crashes on ipad Air and iphone 7+ constantly

Cant search for any address as it just wont stay open long enough to actually search. Same issue on both devices and both have ios13.2.3. Cant honestly be the only one im sure 🤷‍♀️
PS hasn’t been updated since August 2017 - assume they lost interest. Which is sad have a few recommendations rather then managing your own maps why not merge your maps with google? Then you can utilise what they already provide but if you offer the functionality to report incidents while they use your app I think it would be more efficient and definitely help you provide an upto date service rather then telling people it could take days to show up. The data would definitely assist you to also know what roads are causing the most issues I would have thought too. Also manage emergency services quicker too?? Could also partner up with the emergency services app too?? Anyways if you need some direction id be happy to assist 👍
