Motorway Fuel Closures
This page takes the motorway fuel shortages reported by Traffic England, Traffic Wales, Traffic Scotland and other sources, and presents those on a map.
It does not claim to be an official source. The best way to use this map is not to identify a particular service area, as places are being emptied and refilled every hour, a problem that is likely to continue for some weeks. Instead, you should use it to see whether your journey will take you through a region which is known to have many motorway fuel issues.
If you need immediate or live updates, you should contact the highway authority, operator or the traffic reports linked to above. Most sources will not tell you where definitely has fuel for fear that they will be swamped. We have written more about the supply issues here.
Green tick = credible, positive reports received. Question mark = no bad news received. Red cross = closed or not serving cars. Warning triangle = some fuels out or keeps running out. Remember to zoom in as in some places there are facilities on either side of the road.
