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.
