What do the green, amber and red highway colors mean?
Green means no incidents, only minor ones, or only work zones. Amber means a crash or other incident slowing traffic, or work closing a travel lane right now (planned roadwork outside its scheduled hours does not count). A ramp or shoulder closure, minor work, and months-long project notices are listed as work zones but leave the highway green. Red means a severe or critical incident, such as a crash blocking lanes, or a road closed in one direction (labeled Closed). Colors update every two minutes from transportation department incident feeds. Grey means no status: the data did not load, or the incident feed has not reported for over an hour, so no highway is shown green without data.
