How to read the map
Gritters
- Yellow vehicle icons represent active gritters
- When gritters return to the depot, icons disappear – so if no gritting is taking place, you won’t see them on the map
- Locations update every few seconds, though this may take longer in areas with weak mobile reception
- Click an arrow to see the date and time the gritter was at that point (shown in the legend on the left)
- Occasionally, movements may reflect driver training or vehicle maintenance, not active gritting
Check the gritting updates page for decisions on when roads will be treated.
Where we've gritted
- As gritters travel, they leave blue arrows on the map, creating a trail of completed routes
- Trails start in strong blue, fade to light blue over 18 hours, then disappear – showing when routes were last gritted
