Know what your roads look like before you leave. US Road Condition watches the places you actually drive — home, work, the camp, the school run — and tells you when something there changes. No firehose of every incident in the state. Just your roads. SAVE THE PLACES THAT MATTER Add home, work, or anywhere else you drive often. Each one gets watched for crashes, closures, construction, and rough conditions nearby. Your morning screen tells you about tomorrow's commute, not about a highway three hours away. ALERTS THAT RESPECT YOUR ATTENTION At most five alerts a day, only for your saved places. No marketing, no engagement bait. If your phone buzzes, something on your route actually changed. Choose alerts only, or alerts plus cautions. NO ACCOUNT, NO SIGN-IN Start using it the second you open it. Your saved places stay on your phone. We don't want your email and we never ask for it. A MAP BUILT FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY Zoom out to see conditions coast to coast, zoom in to see your exit. Live traffic cameras, hazards, message signs, and winter road conditions — smooth at every zoom level. REPORT WHAT YOU SEE Spotted a crash, ice, flooding, a pothole, or debris in the road? Report it in two taps and it shows up for every driver nearby. Reports are placed by dragging a pin, so you never have to reveal where you live. EVERYWHERE YOU NEED IT iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and a home screen widget for a glance without opening the app. LIVE INCIDENT COVERAGE Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, and Wisconsin — with more states added as they come online.
