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 the deal?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 Google or MapQuest. 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 state-run traffic website, or to call the DOT traffic line for your state, local authorities, or the state's 511 number if available.

Title: US 285 northbound and southbound at mile marker 1
Description: TXDOT - Work on U.S. Highway 285 (Texas) has hit a critical junction that will severely affect traffic patterns between Pecos TX and Orla TX in Reeves County Texas. A bridge-class culvert will be replaced at 4-Mile Draw. Temporary traffic signals will be in operation around the clock at the culvert. Running a red light in this situation could be absolutely catastrophic. The lane will be limited to 11-foot wide loads.

Delays can be expected. Alternate routes are strongly encouraged if possible. Motorists are reminded that state law requires them to obey pilot cars and warning signs as well as any flaggers encountered in the work zone. This is part of a project to improve about 10.8 miles of Highway 285 between County Road 232 and Orla (RM 652) north of Pecos. Constructors Inc. of Carlsbad, N.M., won the project with a low bid of $12,525,496. A second project is under way just to the south of this project.
