Teams that need traffic data they can trust in production
Fleet & logistics
Reroute around closures before drivers hit them. Bridge clearances, weight limits, and STAA truck routes in the same query.
GIS & mapping
RFC 7946 GeoJSON across the whole continent. Drop directly into Leaflet, Mapbox, deck.gl, ArcGIS — no transform layer.
Mobility analytics
Corridor reliability, P50/P95 clearance times, time-series event volumes. The data behind your dashboards.
Public sector & ops
Cross-jurisdiction situational awareness. Cameras, signs, road conditions, weather — one feed across DOT and provincial sources.

One API. Every state. Every province.

Stop juggling dozens of incompatible 511 sources. Road511 normalizes 65 jurisdictions plus FHWA, NBI, NREL and WZDx into a single REST contract.

Unified Multi-Source API

50 US states, 13 Canadian provinces, plus FHWA, NBI, NREL and WZDx — all normalized into one consistent REST schema.

Real-Time Traffic Events

Incidents, construction, closures, weather. Severity levels, lifecycle tracking, line/point geometry. Sub-minute polling on hot feeds.

Rich POI Data

60+ feature types: cameras, rest areas, weigh stations, EV charging, signs, ferries, border crossings, truck parking, and more.

GeoJSON Native

RFC 7946 compliant. Drop into Leaflet, Mapbox, deck.gl, QGIS — zero transformation, zero glue code.

Geospatial Queries

Filter by radius, bbox, jurisdiction, road, severity. PostGIS spatial indexing for fast, ranked results.

Analytics & Trends

P50/P95 clearance times, corridor reliability scores, time-series volumes. Raw data → operational insights.

Webhook Notifications

HMAC-SHA256 signed payloads. Exponential backoff retries, delivery logs, auto-disable on 5xx streaks.

Trucking & Freight

FHWA STAA-designated truck routes, NHFN freight corridors, NBI bridge clearances and load ratings, plus state-published weight restrictions and truck parking.

Source Health Monitoring

Per-adapter circuit breaker (closed/open/half-open) with adaptive backoff. Live status dashboard for every feed.

Developer Experience

Clean, predictable, and boringly RESTful.

Two primary resources cover all traffic data: events for time-bounded incidents, features for points of interest. Filter by jurisdiction, type, severity, bbox, or radius.

Beyond raw data — operational insight.

Road511 tracks every event's full lifecycle and surfaces the metrics fleet ops, engineering, and public-sector teams actually care about.
