MileCheckMonthly Road Report
MileCheck Road Report: September 1–25, 2026
Partial month. This covers September 1 through 25. The full-month version, with final numbers, follows after September 30.
- A "0" for any category from any state means nothing showed up on that state's feed. It does not mean nothing happened.
- States report at different levels of detail. A high number can mean a more detailed feed, not a busier month. Don't compare states against each other on these counts.
- MileCheck archives every state DOT and DriveBC feed, two-hourly since September 8, daily before that. Counted once per incident id, no matter how many days it stayed on the feed.
31,071 road events across all 50 states and British Columbia, September 1 through 25, from MileCheck's archive of every state DOT and DriveBC alert feed. An event is one closure, crash, or work zone, counted once no matter how many days it stayed on the feed.
Crash count only — excludes Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, North Dakota, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and West Virginia. Their live DOT feeds don't carry crashes. Crashes still happen in these states; we don't have a live public feed for them.

A high total can mean a more detailed feed, not a busier month. Crash counts exclude Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, North Dakota, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and West Virginia — their live DOT feeds don't carry crashes. Snow-or-ice mentions are a keyword match on the event's own text, not weather-station data, and can include a real place name (a road called "Snow Rd." or "Ice Box Creek") alongside real weather mentions.
