Everything You Need for Traffic Data

Stop juggling dozens of incompatible 511 APIs. Road511 normalizes all 65 jurisdictions into a single, unified platform.

Unified Multi-Source API

All 50 US states and 13 Canadian provinces plus national data services — 65 jurisdictions normalized into one consistent REST API. One integration covers the continent.

Real-Time Traffic Events

Incidents, construction, closures, special events, and weather advisories with severity levels, lifecycle tracking, and line/point geometry.

Rich POI Data

Cameras, rest areas, weigh stations, weather stations, EV charging, signs, road conditions, service vehicles, ferries, border crossings, truck parking, and 20+ more feature types.

GeoJSON Native

Every endpoint returns standard GeoJSON. Drop responses directly into Leaflet, Mapbox, or any mapping library with zero transformation.

Geospatial Queries

Filter by radius, bounding box, jurisdiction, road name, event type, or severity. PostGIS-powered spatial indexing for fast queries.

Analytics & Trends

Event history timelines, clearance times (P50/P95), corridor reliability scores, and time-series trends. Turn raw data into insights.

Webhook Notifications

Subscribe to event changes with HMAC-SHA256 signed payloads. Exponential backoff retries, delivery logs, and auto-disable for failing endpoints.

API Keys & Rate Limiting

SHA-256 hashed API keys with per-key rate limits and usage tracking. Configurable RPM/burst with X-RateLimit headers.

Source Health Monitoring

Circuit breaker pattern (closed/open/half-open) with adaptive backoff. Real-time health status per data source with automatic recovery.

Trucking & Freight Data

STAA truck routes (479k segments), NHFN freight corridors, 621k bridge clearances from NBI, seasonal weight restrictions, and truck parking across the US.

National Data Services

FHWA National Network, National Bridge Inventory, NREL EV charging (100k+ stations), and WZDx work zones across 24 states — all normalized alongside state 511 data.

Clean, Predictable API

RESTful endpoints with OpenAPI/Swagger docs. Filter by jurisdiction, type, severity, bounding box, or radius.

Public Endpoints

Two primary resource types cover all traffic data: events for time-bounded incidents and features for points of interest. Plus analytics, stats, and GeoJSON bulk export.

Built-In Traffic Analytics

Go beyond raw data. Road511 tracks event lifecycles and delivers actionable analytics out of the box.

Clearance Times

P50 and P95 clearance metrics by event type, severity, and jurisdiction. Know how long incidents typically take to resolve.

Event Trends

Time-series data showing event volumes by type, severity, and region. Spot patterns and seasonal trends across jurisdictions.

Corridor Reliability

Reliability scores for major highway corridors based on historical incident frequency, duration, and severity.

Recent Changes Feed

Real-time feed of event lifecycle changes: created, status changes, severity updates, and archival. Never miss an update.

Event History

Full lifecycle history for every event: when it was created, each status and severity change, and when it was archived.

Summary Statistics

At-a-glance counts by jurisdiction, event type, severity, and feature type. Source health and last-sync timestamps included.
