Frequently Asked Questions

This page shows UK-filtered current and planned disruption records reported for the M5 through ClearRoute. “Current” depends on available source schedule times; use the type filter to distinguish full road closures from roadworks and lane restrictions, then open a record for its permit reference, promoter and highway authority.
M5 road closure data comes from official UK sources: Street Manager (councils and utility companies), National Highways (motorways and major A-roads), D-TRO (Digital Traffic Regulation Orders), Traffic Scotland, Traffic Wales, and TrafficWatchNI. All data is published under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
Road Closures UK can show reported full closures, roadworks and lane restrictions on the M5 up to 90 days in advance. Street Manager permits are submitted by councils and utility companies before work begins, so you can often see planned work weeks or months ahead of the start date.
