Description:
CHP Traffic gives you quick, real-time access to the traffic incident data provided by the California Highway Patrol. CHP Traffic uses public information provided by the computer aided dispatch office, so it's always up-to-date.
Want to check for accidents before you head out so you can choose the better route to take? Live in an area not covered by traffic data in Maps or your GPS so you need to estimate it yourself?
