Milwaukee Traffic Map
How to use the Milwaukee Traffic Map
Traffic flow lines: Red/White dashed lines = Closed Road, Grey/White dashed lines = Road Work, Red lines = Heavy traffic flow, Yellow/Orange lines = Medium flow and Green = normal traffic. Black lines or No traffic flow lines could indicate a closed road, but in most cases it means that either there is not enough vehicle flow to register or traffic isn't monitored. Also, If you do not see traffic flow, you can zoom in closer to reveal localized data. If you are unable to pan the map, press here (to focus off of the map) and try again.
Traffic Incidents: Each icon represents a traffic event or incident such as road construction, closure (red circle with a white dash) or accident.
In known extreme weather events, flooding, or accidents, the map may still show green lines, even if lanes or the entire road is closed.
- Click or touch the map to move in different directions.
- If you do not see any markers on the map, try zooming in one or two levels using "+" on the top left side. However, they are not always available.
- Click an incident icon on the map to get more information.

National Traffic Forecast
As we navigate the roads this week, significant weather is set to impact various regions across the United States. Those traveling in the northern Plains, the Great Lakes, and New England should prepare for record-breaking heat, while drivers in Texas must remain cautious of heavy rainfall and potential flash flooding. Meanwhile, monsoonal showers are likely to affect the Western U.S., potentially causing unexpected road conditions. Stay prepared and safe as you travel these routes.
Commuters along Interstate 94 and Interstate 90 in the northern Plains should expect significant heat with temperatures ranging from 95 to 105 degrees from Tuesday to Wednesday. This extreme heat will extend into Interstate 80 near the Great Lakes and further spread into Interstate 95 as it reaches New England today and the Mid-Atlantic by Wednesday. Take necessary precautions like staying hydrated and avoiding outdoor activities during peak hours.
Heavy rain is forecast to impact travel along U.S. Route 87 and Interstate 10 in Texas through Wednesday.

Monsoonal weather is expected to affect Interstate 15, U.S. Route 89, and U.S. Route 50 in the Great Basin, Four Corners, and Intermountain West.
