This dataset contains the locations and details of all unplanned road closures and traffic alerts recorded by the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP), in near real-time.
As part of the v2 Unplanned Disruptions information, the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) provides enhanced incident data, such as the number of lanes closed, enhanced public advice for consumers, and improved accuracy for an incident’s location..
Also included are Tow truck allocations within the Melbourne Controlled Area (including Mornington Peninsula) which is done by the Accident Allocation Centre, managed under contract to the DTP. The records either represent a road disruption affecting either a point on a road or a length of road or tow trucks in the Melbourne Controlled Area attending an accident scene for vehicles with a gross vehicle mass less than 4 tonnes only after receiving an allocation number.
