Traffic Advisory Radio

Traffic Advisory Radio (TAR) is a Baylandese network of radio stations exclusively transmitting traffic information. It operates 24/7, and is available in 11 places. TAR is operated by Astratel and is funded by the RAB. Anyone can call the traffic board (TAR's data source) at (+384) 915-15-000. The same data is also available at traffic.rab.bu.
== Availability ==
* Beachport: 75% of the urban area has a TAR frequency, the city has 10 frequences, of which 2 are single-road frequencies (E2 and 11).
* Newcoast: 6 frequencies, of which one serves exclusively the E2.
* Eastend: 3 frequencies, of which one serves the ring road.
* Bordertown: 2 frequencies, all information is provided in both English and Õbii.

* Southpoint: 1 frequency, operational only during the summer.
There are also 2 non-urban TAR frequencies, one for the E2 between Beachport and Newston, and one for the E2 between Newcoast and Midhamp.
== Structure ==
TAR uses the 104-105MHz band. Frequency assignment does not follow any pattern and frequencies can be duplicated, if there is enough geographic separation.
A general overview is provided every 5-15 minutes, and information about major incidents is provided as soon as possible. The time between overviews is usually shorter where there are more frequencies, and longer at night. Information in the overview consists of overall traffic density, specific problem areas, possible alternate routes, and accident advisories. The source of the traffic data is sourced from a combination of road sensors, GPS data, emergency service responses, and calls.
