California Traffic 12+

Disclaimer: This unofficial app does not represent any government agency and is not affiliated with California Highway Patrol (CHP). The source of the data is publicly available CHP data feeds at https://cad.chp.ca.gov/Traffic.aspx

A map and data feed of incidents reported by California Highway Patrol (CHP). 

Categorized into a past 1-hour incident map, past 3-hour incident map, and past 3-hour data feed. The Google Map zooms to your last slewed location automatically upon launch.

Use simple search phrases like "fire" and "sig alert" to filter the incidents on the map or data feed. Also, search by incident type, city, county, or any other incident-related text you see on the map or data feed.

The map includes Apple Weather. The user can locate the Apple WeatherKit features in the app by first panning, zooming, swiping, or rotating the map's center to the location where a current weather measurement and/or hour-by-hour forecast is desired. The map's center is represented as the blue pin. Tap the blue button at the bottom of the map titled "Weather at Blue Pin" to view the location's current weather conditions in an alert view pop-over. The hour-by-hour forecast is accesible from this pop-over. NOTE: If the user taps a red incident pin, it will centered, and the blue pin will go over-top the red incident pin. The pin will show a rectangular callout. That callout can be tapped to see further incident details. However, if the weather is desired, tap the blue button at the bottom of the map titled "Weather at Blue Pin". The weather can also be accessed from the incident details page from the blue button in upper-right corner titled "Weather".

In this app, weather conditions relevant to travel are shown as current conditions and as an hour-by-hour forecast, using the Imperial system. The forecast begins 2-3 hours ahead of the user's current time. The current conditions shown are temperature, "feels-like" temperature, wind, wind direction, wind gust, visibility, cloud cover, and UV index. The forecasts show hour-by-hour predictions for temperature, wind, wind direction, wind gust, % chance of precipitation, amount of precipitation in inches, snowfall amount in inches, cloud cover percentage, visibility, and UV index. NOTE: Only iOS 18+ users can see snowfall amounts forecasted.
