How this live feed works and important reporting limits
This radar polls public California Highway Patrol Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) incident streams across all 25 regional communications centers alongside live Caltrans Commercial Wholesale Web Portal (CWWP2) overhead Changeable Message Signs, active lane closures, and roadside traffic cameras. Co-located logs on the same highway and direction are grouped automatically so multi-caller pileups are easier to read, while every individual log remains inspectable. Live CAD entries reflect real-time 911 caller descriptions and initial field radio notes before formal collision investigation; counts, vehicle descriptions, and injury severity often change once officers clear the scene and file verified CHP CCRS reports.
