Know before you go with California Road Report, your best app for being informed of what's happening on the highway.
With California Road Report you can view CHP incidents, CalTrans road conditions, chain control, road closures, highway cameras, CalFire incidents, and rest stops in California on your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch on the go!
- View CHP Incidents in areas nearby or from a list of selected areas in either list mode or map mode
Each CHP incident reported contains the time of occurrence, location, and details of the incident.
- Hands-Free Mode - With hands-free mode, CHP incidents can now be spoken to you while you drive so you can keep your eyes on the road and still receive CHP reports. (note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.)
- Search for CalTrans road conditions on any given highway in California
Ideal for checking chain requirements prior to driving in snowy conditions, knowing if there will be road work, or finding out if a particular stretch of the highway has been closed.
- Find out where chain control is being enforced during snow storms
While in map view you can pan around the state of California to see where chain control is being enforced or scroll through a list of all chain control areas in California.
- Find nearby rest stops
Need to take a break while on a long drive down the 5? Check out nearby rest stops and see their available amenities.
- See highway cameras
See pictures from over 500 highway cameras (with some including live video) in the state of California and also share them on Facebook, X, eMail, and SMS.
- Road Closures
Avoid traffic by knowing which roads are closed or have lane closures.
- CalFire Incidents
See nearby CalFire incidents and check percent contained and number of acres burned.
- CarPlay Support
See CHP Incidents, road closures, and rest stops while using CarPlay.
*** Camera widgets ***
Now you can add highway cameras to the home screen on your phone or CarPlay.
I finally opened this app for the first time this season to check chain control and was surprised to discover the subscription model had been implemented for things that were usually free. I initially balked, for about five minutes... then remembered that I had been using the app for years for free, so the small yearly fee didn’t seem unreasonable and I signed up. I live in the mountains, so I normally use this app for chain control notifications and CHP incidents along the long mtn highways to prevent me from driving to the bottom of the mountain, only to discover a crash and closed road at the bottom. It works great, especially in driving mode when it reads the incidents out to you. The app does other things too, but I’ve never used those features so I don’t know how well they work. But if you live or travel in snowy conditions, this is the easiest way to find chain conditions, and is well worth the yearly fee for this feature alone.
Great and really helpful!

Update: Nice to get a response from the developer indicating he’s working on updating this app. The highway camera feature has been restored. Thanks! . . . . WHERE ARE THE HIGHWAY CAMERAS?!?! This app WAS great until I installed the latest update yesterday. Now when I select highway cameras, there’s nothing there (says “0”) I really relied on the visual especially of those highways in the high country. Such a bummer not to have them. Please bring them back!I downloaded this app the other day as we were planning a trip over Donner Summit and I wanted to stay on top of the road conditions. Each time I checked, the info was current with the requirement for chains/snow tires and the storm conditions. The app is easy to navigate. You choose from the list of either interstate highways, state highways or other roads. You then get up to the minute conditions. Perfect! I also like that you can link to the highway cameras that are available for that highway to get a visual of conditions. Also, information is provided for rest stops and what amenities are available. Thanks for a great, reliable app!!

I love this app, i have been using this app for 5 or so years. I travel a lot over Donner Pass on I-80 and it is important to know what the weather conditions are, what road hazards there are, and specifically where the chain check points are. Not only could you read what’s going on they have cameras all around California that allow you to see live what’s happening in that spot. The updates of information have always been quick and close to real time. This is the best app to use if you travel in California or over the mountain!
Developer Response
Thanks for being such a longtime user. The latest update resolves this issue.You’re right about the chain control being inconvenient. I’ll fix that in my next release.

I am a log truck driver I love your app good to know when we need chains and stuff only thing I recommend is explaining chains more to people maybe even throwing something in there on how to chain their vehicles up explaining to them just because there’s no chains required doesn’t mean you can drive faster because a four-wheel-drive does not mean You will not slide out. Explain the cautions of winter weather And why semi trucks go slower due to winter conditions. other than that perfect app. Thanks again
