Sources, rule and fine print
  • FDOT DIVAS traffic events (Florida Department of Transportation): ok, 7 in Hillsborough County. Public FDOT GIS service, no key. FDOT provides data "as is".
  • Hillsborough County TTC road & lane closures (Hillsborough County): ok, 583 in Hillsborough County. Public Hillsborough County ArcGIS FeatureServer (TTCPermitsV4), no key. Florida public records / as-is disclaimer. Used for the Tampa page and Tampa Bay master.

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.
