A number of search and navigation options are available from the home page and internal pages to help you find the information and services you are after:

1. Browsing

You can explore the site by clicking on the hyperlinked headings that appear on the home page.

On the left-hand side of the screen there is a number of headings containing the main content areas. A little box with an arrow is an indication that a heading is expandable (provided that your browser is compatible) – moving your cursor across it will expose sub headings containing topics related to the particular category.

Each internal page has “breadcrumbs” at the top of the page to indicate which section and sub-section you are currently in.

2. Search / Advanced search

You will find the site search facility on every page of the site. It enables you to perform simple or advanced searches.

To undertake a simple search, just put in a keyword, e.g. cycling, or a series of keywords, e.g. maps cycling
into the search box, and press the "go" key (or "enter" key on your keyboard).

An advanced search anables you to restrict the search results to specific criteria e.g. searching by: title, keywords, metadata description, document type or web address. You can also control the ranking of pages - i.e. the order in which search results are returned, as well as the number of pages returned.

3. Site Map

A site map, containing a textual, hyperlinked index of the site’s contents, is provided for easy reference. You can get to the specific site content areas by clicking the specific entries in the index.

4. Quick Links

The quick links buttons are located in the centre of the screen on the home page. There are five links provided to enable an easy, straightforward access to important information, such as: online transactions, road reports and other notices.
