FAQs
Q) How often is the map updated?
A) The traffic flow is updated at loadtime and upon movement outside the initial map view, or upon refresh of the page. Any incident markers are checked for updates approximately every 5-10 minutes, but you need to reload the page to load any new updates; the data provided may still be the same status/view as before. Information shown is as only reliable as how it is reported to us.
Q) The roads are backed up or closed, but the map does not show the reason why, what's up with that?A) Municipal traffic monitors or GPS trackers may not be available, could be offline, or reports and alerts are not syndicated to media outside of the area to use on the map. This is especially true for rural areas. You are encouraged to leave a road conditions report to help others.
Q) I see traffic alerts in the box below for the state, but they aren't related to the area I'm in? A) We attempt to display alerts as specific to the area as possible, however in some cases the data we receive will only allow us to provide it by county or even statewide.
Q) Are you an official source of traffic information? A) We are not an official source of traffic or real-time data. We have contracts and licenses to display certain up-to-date information that comes direct from some DOTs in various states, and the traffic flow on the maps is provided by TomTom or other map platforms. However, the data shown here should only be used for light informational and reference purposes and not to make critical decisions. Your safest option on the web is to use your official state-run traffic website, or to call the DOT traffic line for your state, local authorities, or the state's 511 number if available.

National Traffic Forecast
Nor'easter Impacts the East Coast with Heavy Rains and Strong Winds - 09-26 to 09-28
Updated Sat Sep 26th 2026, 1:35am PDT
Our roads on the East Coast are gearing up for a challenging weekend due to a strong Nor'easter, which will bring heavy rains, strong winds, and coastal flooding from the Mid-Atlantic through to Southern New England. This system will cause significant disruptions along major routes, and travelers should expect delays and potential detours. In the Southern High Plains, expect some excessive rainfall on Friday that may lead to flash flooding.
Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Challenges
The Nor'easter is expected to impact the Interstate 95 corridor significantly, especially from Philadelphia, PA to New York City, NY. Coastal flooding is probable, with high tide cycles bringing water over roadways. Expect closures and detours along coastal roads in Delaware and New Jersey this weekend. Strong wind gusts reaching 45-65 mph could also impact travel on bridges and elevated roadways, causing delays and possible downed trees.
Southern New England Concerns
Heavy rain in Southern New England will affect the Interstate 95 as well as Interstate 91 in Hartford, CT and Springfield, MA. Drivers should anticipate minor flash flooding in urban areas and hydroplaning on slick roads. Coastal routes, particularly around Boston, MA, will experience dangerous conditions with potential road closures.
Southern High Plains Updates
Expect showers and thunderstorms in the Southern High Plains on Friday, potentially affecting routes such as US Highway 287 near Amarillo, TX and State Route 60 near Pampa, TX. Flash flooding could impact travel in low-lying areas and near streams.
Middle Mississippi Valley Considerations
Thunderstorms with heavy rainfall on Saturday could lead to flash flooding. Key routes like Interstate 70 near St. Louis, MO will likely have wet conditions that can reduce visibility and increase travel times. Stay alert for possible short-notice road closures and detours due to flooding.
Be sure to stay updated on weather alerts and travel advisories. Safe travels!
