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 124 incidents on the road network throughout Cambridgeshire in January covering 21 weekdays. This figure is lower to that of what we reported in January 2025 and higher than the previous month.

Please see the table below which illustrates the number of incidents over the last 6 months, compared to the same period last year;

And some exciting news – we have now launched our Facebook and Instagram accounts! Following on from the success that we’ve had with the Cambs_Traffic social media account on X (formally Twitter), we wanted to share with you our new pages for Facebook and Instagram that will show advance warnings of road closures and impactful works throughout the county, educational posts about Highways & Transport and any Highways & Transport information moving forward, so we can reach a larger audience of the public within Cambridgeshire and beyond.

Our pages are:

We will not be posting emergency and up to date traffic news such as delays etc within the county due to the algorithms used. We will continue using X to display this information as posts are posted immediately and in sequence.

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”).

We are aware there is conflicting information about the upcoming road closure on Earith Road. We are currently awaiting information from County Council’s Highways team to confirm when the closure will take place and will provide an update here when we receive it.

Please find attached the roadworks bulletin, detailing works and events that are due to start between 16^th – 31^st January 2026.

Just a reminder that this only includes works that are due to start between 16^th – 31^st January 2026 and longer term works that are still in progress will have been included on previous reports. Alternatively please refer to https://one.network/ which will include details on emergency roadworks.
