The service is available through the Traffic Scotland desktop and mobile websites as well as the joint Traveline Scotland/Traffic Scotland smartphone apps on iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, Amazon Kindle Fire and the latest BlackBerry platforms. Drivers are reminded not to use mobile phones or other devices whilst driving.
