Scottish Road Works On-line Google Maps mashup

I have just been informed of a wonderful tool utilising Google Maps in a useful way, to map all roadworks in Scotland.

Scottish Road Works On-line allows you to zoom in to a particular location to see what disruption is in your area’s roads. Alternatively, you can search by postcode or by date. Furthermore, roadworks are ranked as high, medium or low impact.

This has been set up by The Scottish Road Works Commissioner, and is a great example of how web 2.0 tools can be used to make information easily accessible. Full marks.

Hat tip to Richard McKay who posted about this on Twitter.
