The site is extremely simple to use. It presents a page of links that help users access information about road status.
Users can select states from a table of links to narrow down their search parameters for information about certain interstate highways. This makes it easier to find results relevant to where they will be driving regularly or for a given trip.
The next step is to select which interstate to learn about. Within the state directories the roads are listed and provide links to status reports which are regularly updated according to maintenance schedules and other public works and weather events which can disrupt travel.
The site also includes links to weather and road conditions resources provided by the Department of Transportation and the National Weather Service. There are meteorological survey links also provided by government agencies which help drivers to keep an eye on conditions before traveling.
