Road conditions
Closures and crashes from Caltrans QuickMap, on one map with the route and mile marker. Below it: the live cameras, The Grapevine (Tejon Pass), Donner Pass and Cajon Pass, the I-5, I-80, I-10, I-15 and I-40 corridor pages, and what the season does to California's highways. For the whole country, see the US closures map. City traffic cameras: Fresno, Bakersfield, Riverside, San Jose, Oakland, Redding and Stockton.
The Caltrans feed lists 54 closure-type alerts, 56 crashes and 169 roadwork alerts on numbered highways right now. Closure-type alerts include lane closures, so read each one. Listed:

ReportWhat the Caltrans QuickMap feed carried over the holiday weekend.
I-5 runs the full length of the state, from the Mexican border through Los Angeles, up the Central Valley past Sacramento to the Oregon line. US-101 follows the coast from Los Angeles through the Bay Area to the redwoods. I-80 climbs from Sacramento over Donner Summit toward Reno, chain-control country every winter. I-15 carries Los Angeles traffic over Cajon Pass toward Las Vegas, and US-395 traces the Eastern Sierra past Lone Pine, Bishop and Mammoth.
Chain controls on I-80 over Donner Summit and on US-50 arrive with every Sierra storm, posted by Caltrans as R1, R2 or R3. I-5 over the Grapevine closes for snow a few times most winters. Tule fog settles on the Central Valley from November into February and can cut visibility on I-5 and SR-99 to a few car lengths. In summer and fall, wildfires close highways with little notice, and the map above carries those closures as Caltrans posts them.
In October 2026, MileCheck's archive of the Caltrans QuickMap feed held 4,024 unique reports, including 997 closure reports, 295 crash reports, 2,115 work-zone reports and 35 weather reports. The routes with the most reports were US-101, I-5 and I-80. Counts reflect what the feed publishes, so a state whose DOT posts only closures shows only closures. Read the October Highway Report.
The map above shows full closures from the Caltrans QuickMap feed as red markers, crashes in orange, and weather and hazard alerts in blue and purple. Closures the DOT has posted for a future date are listed as scheduled, and ramp and lane closures sit under the toggle so the list stays readable. The page checks MileCheck's feed every five minutes. If the feed cannot be reached the page says so instead of showing an empty map. For the official list, open Caltrans QuickMap.
Caltrans QuickMap is the official source, and dialing 511 in most states reaches the same information by phone. This page reads the same Caltrans QuickMap feed and adds the California cameras, the corridor and pass pages, and your own mile marker if you carry the app.
Chain and traction rules are set by Caltrans QuickMap per road and per direction, and they change with the storm. Restrictions the DOT publishes as alerts appear on the map above and on the The Grapevine (Tejon Pass), Donner Pass and Cajon Pass pages. Always follow the posted signs. What "chains required" means explains the levels.
This page checks MileCheck's feed every five minutes. Caltrans QuickMap updates individual reports on its own schedule. Source update times are shown when available.
Yes. The app shows the same Caltrans QuickMap alerts on your route, ahead of your position, with the mile marker you are passing. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states. Live alerts are part of MileCheck Premium, $19.99 a year or $4.99 a month after a 2-week free trial.
Your mile marker shows even offline. Caltrans QuickMap alerts on your route and the nearest camera are part of MileCheck Premium and need a connection to update. Runs on CarPlay and Android Auto.
