We are going to Rosewood Farm, Newick Lane, Heathfield on Tuesday. Postcode TN21 8PY. I thought to look up road closures as we were caught out once. Info says it's closed. Site owner says there are 3 way traffic lights but it is often closed and to use One. Network to find out for sure. Can't make head or tail of it. Any ideas please?
I assume this is for your Lewes trip. Nothing problematic showed locally on Google maps when I asked for directions, but I can’t help with OneNetwork - we use the TrafficScotland app up here.
Thanks Fiona. It's actually about 18 miles from Lewes but couldn't find anywhere nearer. We also need to get to the A27 which is the main south coast road to get to Hampshire which isn't going to be easy if the road is closed .
One network is merely a map which shows all roadworks. Find the area you are interested in and click on the symbols to find out what works are taking place and how long the works will last.
As this week is half term in many areas you may find lots of works this week which will be be finished before schools go back.
I looked up the website. Sounded very useful “Causeway one.network underpins traffic operations across the UK…”
Scotland is in the UK, but the map information stops at the border with England. However, I’ll keep it in mind for when we next come south, as it looks helpful.

Going to Hampshire along the A27? That means going on the Chichester bypass. Take a hot drink and sandwiches with you. Alternatively, the M25 would probably be quicker. Do check for closures around Chichester as there was a lot of road works there last time we went.
Just to clarify, when I say go via 25, it is something of a local joke intended to illustrate how bad the Chichester bypass can be.
I understand, a few days ago, travelling the other way from Shoreham harbour to Uckfield there was an abnormal load, causing closure of the A27 as its top speed was 12mph.
Don’t le me put you off, just a fact that the Chichester bypass is notorious, too many roundabouts in a short stretch of road. Equally, sometimes we have driven around with very little problem.
TBH never found a totally reliable source of info for well advanced planning of routes! Been well stitched up by Highways Agency (in various 'AKA's over the years) web site on 'future' events! They are horribly inaccurate! - and they provide the info to nearly every other end user source!
Biggest one was on one of my dog rescue transport runs a few years back, where we do a relay system of handing the dog on to next transporter to do a leg of a long journey. A14 just outside Cambridge was scheduled (by HA!) to close from 9pm overnight, which didn't impact our plans, but contractors shut it down around 2pm! Total chaos ensued, every road and lane for miles around became gridlocked! People I was supposed to meet were well and truly stuck, and both our sat navs were telling us something like 5 hour delay before we could meet at any alternative rendezvous point! Transport plan had to be abandoned, dog came home with me for the night, and an alternative transport plan improvised for next day! We're damned good at these transport runs normally, and cope with hiccups along the way, but this one broke us thanks to unreliable info from the OFFICIAL SOURCE!
As good as I ever seem to be able to 'crystal ball' gaze on journeys is to check current traffic just before setting off, and plan around that! Mostly works, but had plenty of journeys double in time because of changing circumstances and unscheduled events! Not a lot of joy in driving these days!
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
