What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: CHP incidents and dispatch logs · Caltrans and 30-plus other state DOT closures · state DOT incidents, cameras, message signs, and road weather · chain controls (California and Pacific Northwest) · WFIGS and CAL FIRE wildfires with perimeters · NWS alerts · USGS quakes · toll and express-lane pricing · optional TomTom and 511 SF Bay feeds
Coverage docs-verified: 37 US states; California is the deepest coverage
Formats llm-inferred: MCP stdio · MCP remote custom connector (HTTPS) · plain HTTP API with OpenAPI document
Access docs-verified: Free; the MCP server needs no account or API key. Code is MIT licensed. The public HTTP API uses keys with published rate limits.

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Pre-visit check of road closures and chain controls for US fieldwork sites in covered states · Haulage and site-access route risk screening for US civils projects using live incidents and closures · Wildfire perimeter and road closure context for US environmental site assessments · Travel-time and toll cost estimates for US consultancy site visits
Audience llm-inferred: environmental consultants (US fieldwork logistics) · civil engineers and site planners (US projects) · GIS analysts · general AI assistant users

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred: US road data only; no UK coverage · Coverage is uneven across the 37 states, and some states offer only roadwork or nothing usable · California-only detail (CHP dispatch logs, per-lane closures, chain-control levels, CAL FIRE perimeters) · Feed failures are served as last-good data flagged stale, so data can be out of date · Watch-area accounts require approval · Self-hosting is not supported by the author · Premium features are planned for the hosted app · Conditions change faster than feeds; not a substitute for official road information
