Sources, rule and fine print
  • FDOT DIVAS traffic events (Florida Department of Transportation): ok, 0 in Charlotte, Lee & Collier. Public FDOT GIS service, no key. FDOT provides data "as is".

Live label (our rule): Only incidents, full road closures, and signal issues set the badge. Math: Bad = any signal, any full road closure, or a crash / major or intermediate-severity incident; Meh = any other incident; Good = none of those. Permitted lane/utility work and other non-full scheduled work are listed separately and do not change Bad/Meh/Good. Counts are what the agencies list; we don't invent any.

Signal outages: appear here only when FDOT posts them to its event feed.

📷 Nearby cameras: FL511 (FDOT) cameras within 1.5 km of the reported location, straight-line. Stills are hot-linked from fl511.com (not stored or proxied here) and refresh in your browser while this page is open.

Times are Eastern. Incident text is pulled server-side. The optional map loads Leaflet from abadtime.com and map tiles from tile.openstreetmap.org (OSM tile policy; low volume, attribution shown). Camera links open fl511.com. Not for navigation or emergencies.
