Detours: Traffic & Road Alerts

Navigation apps are great at getting you around an accident. But they can only help once you're already in the car. Detours works before that. When CHP logs an incident on your route, Detours sends you an alert while you're still home, still deciding. Leave a few minutes early. Take the street you know. Or just grab another coffee. Think of it as the app you check before you open your navigation app. LIVE INCIDENT MAP Active CHP incidents across California (crashes, hazards, fires, closures), plus Caltrans lane closures and traffic cameras, mapped side by side with distinct markers so you can tell them apart at a glance. ALERTS BEFORE YOU LEAVE (PRO) Pick your highways and set an alert area around your commute, your neighborhood or any route you drive. Detours watches it quietly in the background and sends a calm heads-up when CHP logs a crash, hazard or fire there, on the schedule you choose. COMMUTE REPORT (PRO) One summary of what's active on your roads, sent at the time and on the days you choose. If nothing is happening, nothing is sent. CHAIN CONTROLS Heading to the mountains? See the chain control status Caltrans reports for each highway, in Caltrans' own wording, with the time of the last update. Pin the highways you drive to keep them at the top. Free. With Pro, tap the bell on any highway to get an alert when Caltrans changes its chain controls, for the direction you choose. TRAFFIC CAMERAS See what the road looks like right now. Caltrans traffic cameras are on the map and in a searchable list sorted by distance, and CHP incidents show nearby cameras when available. Tap a camera for its latest image, and play live video where Caltrans provides it. With Pro, favorite the cameras you check every day, scroll back through earlier images, and play them as a time-lapse. UPCOMING ROAD CLOSURES (PRO) Caltrans schedules lane and road closures for construction and maintenance days in advance. Detours shows what's closing on your highways up to 3 days ahead, not just live incidents as they happen. LIVE ACTIVITY & DYNAMIC ISLAND (PRO) Follow an active incident without opening the app. Detours shows its status on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, updating as CHP's log develops, including when it's removed from the log, often the most useful update of all. PLAIN ENGLISH, LESS JARGON CHP dispatch shorthand takes years to learn. Detours translates it into clear, simple language when it can, and you can switch any incident between plain English and the original CHP text. FREE AND PRO Free includes the live map, incident details, traffic cameras with live video, and chain control status. Detours Pro adds push notification alerts for CHP incidents near you, set an alert area and schedule, the Commute Report, chain control alerts, upcoming closures, Live Activity tracking, camera favorites and time-lapse. Start with a 7-day free trial of Pro Yearly. No account needed. No sign-up. Just open it.
