The Traffic Management Centre (TMC) monitors the county’s road network and reports any variations to the traffic flow, we refer to these as ‘incidents’. We use the term ‘incident’ to describe something that has happened on the County’s road network which has an impact (of varying degrees) on usual traffic flows. This could include, for example, a Road Traffic Collision, a burst water main or temporary traffic lights for road works.
We are using a new web-based system to log and display these incidents in both map and report formats.
This system can be viewed by visiting; https://cadence247-ccc.controller.cityscience.com/
We have attached a quick user guide to show you how to view the report and map but if you have any questions or feedback on the system, please don’t hesitate to send us an email. The system is still a work in progress and we have been using it live since August 2022, so anything pre-August has been ported over from our old log which is why there might not be as much detail in the information.
The TMC responded to 88 incidents on the road network throughout Cambridgeshire in July covering 23 weekdays. This is a decrease to June’s figure and that of what we were seeing in July 2023.
Please see the table below which illustrates the number of incidents over the last 6 months, compared to the same period last year;

Our @Cambs_Traffic X account is our quickest engagement tool with the public and the interaction gives a good indication of how effective the messages are getting out to people.
Throughout July we gained 40 new followers however we lost a few making the increase 34 which is greater than that of June’s figure.
Since X took over Twitter there have been a number of inconsistencies in the analytics causing confusion over actual figures. Unfortunately the option for posts sent has now been taken away meaning that we cannot easily report on this. It would seem also that profile visits had previously been amalgamated with video views which has now been separated meaning that there is a big decrease in the figures below. We are looking for ways to continue to give you the data below.
The table below illustrates the analytics over the last 6 months.

You may have noticed that we are sending out more educational posts designed to give you a little bit more of an understanding around different types of works. We try to make these as informative as possible and will continue to role these posts out as we feel they are super useful to our followers and the engagement has been positive.
We have now completed uploading all the historic data from 2018 -2023 onto google maps which you can find via the links below. If you have any queries or feedback, please do not hesitate to contact us at Tmc@cambridgeshire.gov.uk
Following on from the latest update of the City Science system where we record our incidents, please be aware that when first opening the application it will now default to only showing you the last 28 days of incidents. We found performance of the controller page was struggling when showing the full history. If you want to revert to the old view, you can use the Timespan dropdown at the top of the sidebar and clear the “From” date (the actual clearing procedure is browser dependent, but it should be along the lines of clicking the date input, clicking “Clear” and then “Apply”).
