CP24 is making it even easier to avoid back-ups and bottlenecks - our popular Traffic Alert app is now available on all smartphone platforms.

Previously available for the iPhone and Blackberry, CP24's Traffic Alert is now available to Android users, who have been eagerly anticipating its arrival.

Thousands of people are already using the app - the next generation of personalized traffic reporting.

The CP24 Traffic Alert gives you audio and visual updates on the latest congestion and it does so without requiring you to even press a button while behind the wheel.

This revolutionary technology connects all users socially in real-time, helping each other to get the best personal traffic for their commutes.

Whenever drivers who are running the CP24 Traffic Alert app are stuck in traffic, this information is passed along to other users behind them.

Users can also report traffic incidents, serving as on the scene traffic reporters, helping to make CP24 Traffic Alert the most accurate source for traffic in the GTA.

Following up on the success of CP24s wildly popular News App, the Traffic Alert app provides up-to-the-minute updates along recorded routes and five kilometres ahead of your drive.

When conditions change it will alert you via an audio message.

It also comes pre-equipped with a number of popular routes already available to choose from.

The free app can be downloaded directly onto your mobile devices through a variety of sites.
