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
Southwest Flash Flood Warning and Coastal Rain - 10-19 to 10-21
Updated Mon Oct 19th 2026, 8:36am PDT
This week, we have some significant weather impacting our roadways. Heavy rain brings a risk of flash flooding in the Southwest on Monday. On the East Coast, a Nor’easter travels up the Mid-Atlantic, causing showers and potentially hazardous driving conditions through Tuesday. Meanwhile, California faces scattered showers as a low-pressure system moves along the coast. Stay safe and plan your travel accordingly. Let's break it down by region:
Southwest Flash Flooding Alert
Attention, drivers on I-10 and US-60 in Arizona and New Mexico! Monday's heavy rains bring a risk of flash flooding, particularly in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. Be cautious on roads like AZ-77 and NM-89. These potential hazardous conditions may cause delays, so allow for extra travel time.
Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Coastal Showers
Folks traveling along the I-95 corridor from southern New Jersey through the Virginia Tidewater should prepare for rain showers through Tuesday. The Nor’easter is likely to create challenging conditions with strong winds affecting roads such as US-13 and US-17. Expect delays due to possible coastal flooding and road closures.
California Showers
Travelers along US-101 and CA-1, be aware of scattered showers moving through Northern, Central, and Southern California through Tuesday. These conditions could slow your commute and affect visibility, especially during heavy rainfall. Keep an eye on the forecast if you’re traveling via I-5.
Southeast Showers
If you're driving through Florida, especially along I-95 and I-75, expect scattered showers and thunderstorms through Tuesday. These weather conditions might cause slippery roads and reduced visibility, so drive safely and be prepared for possible delays.
