mtraffic.org is a new service providing free UK traffic updates for your mobile phone. It's a simplified, cached and searchable view of the BBC's TPEG feed. mtraffic is designed to be

• Fast: queries run against a parsed representation of the traffic data; the cache is flushed when a request arrives x seconds after the modification time stamp stored in the persisted feed; the BBC's feed publishes ETags and Last-Modified headers, which are respected by the fetcher; markup is minimal.
• Accessible: search results are returned in lightweight, compliant XHTML, which should render reliably on all modern mobile browsers.
• Convenient: frequent journeys can be checked with short, stable URLs, e.g. mtraffic.org/m25.

mtraffic is written in Python, and is currently running on my UML machine with Apache 2 and mod_python. If you'd like the sources or you have a bug report, please get in touch.
