Trunk Road Gritter Tracker (Scotland)

 

Scotland names and tracks their "gritter" trucks. Thanks to Lee Saloutos for this. Our first scroll-able post on AL.

Trunk Road Gritter Tracker

Disclaimer
The Trunk Road Gritter Tracker page provides live tracking of gritters on the trunk road network.  It displays the current location of gritters and a trail with an age range for where gritters have previously passed along the trunk routes across Scotland.  The Gritter Tracker does not provide road treatment or gritting information.

Useful Tips on using the Gritter Tracker

The initial map view (default extent) on the Trunk Road Gritter Tracker provides vehicle trails for the 0-2hrs range and the current location of all gritters. Active gritters, in yellow, will orientate according to the direction of travel. Inactive gritters, i.e. parked up at a depot, will be greyed out with the icon facing East.

To view gritter trails above the 0-2hrs age ranges (2-4hrs up to 12+hrs) and to view a number of gritters at the same location i.e. at a depot, then you must zoom into the map view on a specific area or trunk route to view this information.

You can use the search bar at the top left to search for a gritter by name.  Enter the first few letters of the name, then pick from the resulting list.

To view traffic information, enable the Traffic layer by clicking on the 'Layer List' button located at the top left of the map, under the search bar.
