www.Parctel.com: On Monday 8th October the Highways Agency in partnership with BAA Gatwick launched new traffic information points at the airport that are designed to provide road users with real-time travel information for their onward journey.
The aim of the initiative is to provide road users with up to the minute information about the Highways Agency's roads, including the nearby M23 and M25, so they can plan their journey and avoid potential delays.
The four digital screens are situated at the two parking pay stations, and the valet parking and car hire areas. Travel information is supplied directly by the Highways Agency website, live cameras and the National Traffic Control Centre in Birmingham.
Highways Agency Area Performance Manager, Simon Duke said:
"This initiative is a great opportunity for the Highways Agency and BAA Gatwick to provide a link between air travel and road transport. The information points will enable travellers arriving at the airport to plan their onward journey from Gatwick and will ultimately help to provide safer roads and more reliable journeys."
David Stretch, BAA Gatwick's Customer Service Director comments:
"We are delighted to be the first airport in the south east to install the new Highways Agency travel information screens. They will be of huge benefit to our passengers and airport staff when planning their onward journey from the airport and will help ease road congestion at our busy times. The screens are ideally located at the two car parking pay stations, the car rental facility and the BAA Valet parking reception, South Terminal".
