# Roadbeat: live Queensland roads and transport

Roadbeat is a free web app that puts Queensland's live road and public transport information on one map. It shows only what official sources publish, and it never estimates a time, a position or a delay.

## What you can do with Roadbeat

- See current road events across Queensland: crashes, hazards, flooding, congestion, roadworks and closures, from the QLDTraffic feed, refreshed every minute.
- Watch traffic and flood cameras.
- Follow Translink buses, trains, trams and ferries in South East Queensland and Cairns, with next departures and delays, and see published timetables for Townsville, Toowoomba, Mackay and Translink's other regional networks.
- Read the full published timetable for any line or stop, for any day it covers.
- Plan a trip from the published timetable: direct services, or one change at the same station or stop.
- See Queensland Fire Department bushfire warnings, satellite hotspots and the latest NASA satellite image, and stream heights and rainfall from Brisbane City Council and Queensland Government gauges.
- Check air quality and its recent history, Energex power outages and council evacuation centres, and read council, police and news reports on a map.
- Get notified about events, routes and bushfire warnings that match your settings while the app is open, and turn on push alerts for your commute to hear about it when the app is closed.
