Built for Teams That Move Things

Road511 provides the traffic infrastructure data that fleet managers, navigation developers, logistics platforms, and risk analysts actually need — and can't get anywhere else.

Fleet Management & Trucking

Route Trucks Around Restrictions, Not Into Them

No other API gives you bridge clearances, weight restrictions, and truck routes in one call. Road511 lets you check an entire corridor for height/weight conflicts before dispatch — not after a driver is already on the road.

621K Bridge Clearances

FHWA NBI + state inventories with height, weight, posting status, and condition ratings.

479K Truck Route Segments

STAA National Network polylines — where large trucks have a legal right to operate.

Spring Load Limits

Seasonal weight restrictions from MN, WI, MI, ON, QC, NS with active date ranges.

Corridor Search

Pass origin, destination, vehicle height and weight — get every conflict along the route.

Navigation Apps

Add Live Cameras, Signs, and Conditions to Your App

HERE and TomTom sell traffic flow. Road511 gives you the infrastructure data they don't — 10,000+ camera feeds, DMS sign messages, road surface conditions, and weather station readings. GeoJSON-native, ready for Leaflet or Mapbox.

10,000+ Live Cameras

Direct image and stream URLs from 40+ states. Refresh every 1–5 minutes.

DMS Sign Messages

Real-time text displayed on highway dynamic message signs across 30+ jurisdictions.

Road Conditions

Surface state (dry, wet, icy, snow-covered) and chain requirements from 15+ states.

GeoJSON-Native

Every endpoint has a /geojson variant. Drop responses directly into your map layer.

Logistics & Supply Chain

Know What's on the Road Before Your Load Is

Check corridor reliability, active closures, and seasonal restrictions before dispatching. Road511 tracks event lifecycles — when an incident started, how it escalated, and when it cleared — so you can build smarter ETAs.

Real-Time Events

Incidents, construction, closures, and weather events across 57 jurisdictions with severity levels.

Lifecycle Tracking

Full event history — severity changes, lane updates, ETAs — for clearance time prediction.

Corridor Analytics

Top corridors by incident frequency, clearance time P50/P95, and reliability scoring.

Rest Areas & Truck Parking

Rest stops with amenity data, truck parking availability, and open/closed status.

# Active incidents on I-95 with severity major or higher

Insurance & Risk

Incident Trends, Weather Correlation, and Geographic Hotspots

Road511's analytics endpoints give you the data to build risk models. Incident frequency by corridor, clearance times by severity, weather conditions at the time of each event, and geographic clustering — all via API.

Weather-Incident Correlation

Nearest weather station conditions captured at event creation time. Aggregate stats by precipitation and road surface.

Hotspot Clusters

Geographic clustering of incidents by configurable grid size. See where events concentrate.

Trend Analysis

Event time-series by hour, day, or week — grouped by type, severity, or jurisdiction.

Clearance Metrics

P50 and P95 clearance times by event type, jurisdiction, and severity for SLA modeling.

# Weather-incident correlation: how does snow affect crash frequency?

Smart City & Municipal

Cross-Jurisdictional Traffic Monitoring

Municipal and regional agencies need to see traffic conditions beyond their own borders. Road511 normalizes data across jurisdictions so you can monitor a metro area that spans multiple states or provinces without integrating each one separately.

57 Jurisdictions, One API

Monitor events across state and provincial borders with consistent data format and severity levels.

BBox & Radius Queries

Query by geographic area, not jurisdiction — get everything within your region of interest.

Infrastructure Data

Bridge conditions, weather stations, road conditions, and EV charging for infrastructure planning.

Source Health Monitoring

Track fetch success rates and data freshness per source for data quality assurance.

# All active events in a metro area bounding box (crosses state lines)
