County launches 'Road Condition Notification Tool' to keep drivers informed
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Earlier this week, county officials announced the launch of a new Road Condition Notification Tool, which is meant to keep drivers informed about the status roads in the region.
Described by officials as an “innovative GIS-based map,” it is designed to provide real-time updates on the state of county-maintained roads. The user-friendly tool aims to enhance safety and convenience for local drivers.
The interactive map allows users to easily view essential updates, including:
- Current and upcoming road closures.
- Hazardous conditions such as rockfalls or fallen trees.
- Chain control requirements during adverse weather conditions.
With a simple click on specific areas of the map, users can access detailed information, such as the reason behind the notification (construction, special events, hazardous conditions, etc.), the effective dates, and the expected duration of road conditions. This will help to ensure drivers can make informed decisions before they hit the road.
The Road Condition Notification Tool is designed for anyone from daily commuters to those traveling during storm season. By staying up-to-date on road closures and hazards, drivers can take necessary precautions and avoid disruptions.
The new tool is now available for use. County officials are encouraging residents and travelers to take full advantage of its features to plan their routes accordingly.
