Where can I find updated info on road conditions?

Of course, the Houston TranStar Traffic Map has traffic information, however due to the infrastructure damage caused by Ike, some of the real-time information is limited in areas.

If you're looking for state and US highway closures, visit this page. TxDOT also has closures on their website.

The City of Houston has a real-time list of ongoing police incidents here.

There's no central clearinghouse for other cities; we apologize for this inconvenience.

When will traffic signals work again?

Damage assessments are being conducted; however, without power it's hard to know what works and what doesn't. We're using contractors to assist existing teams of technicians, who are working non-stop to assess damage and correct problems.

When you approach an intersection whose signal isn't working, treat the intersection as a four-way stop. Come to a full stop, wait your turn and move forward carefully through the intersection.

When will the HOV lanes reopen?
