Questions

Bruce Highway — FAQ

Is there an accident on the Bruce Highway today?

No news report naming the Bruce Highway has reached our feeds in the last 24 hours. The list below shows the most recent mentions from the last 7 days; official live incidents inside the corridor appear in the table when an authority publishes them.

Where does this Bruce Highway page get its data?

Three places, none of them estimated: (1) news headlines from GDELT, Google News RSS and GNews that name the road, country-matched so the British M1 and the Pakistani M-1 are never mixed up; (2) official incident feeds already on this site (511 systems, state DOT ArcGIS layers, city feeds, MapQuest) filtered to points within 20 km of the road's centreline; (3) the live traffic-camera index for cameras nearest to each waypoint.

How is 'near the Bruce Highway' defined?

The road is stored as 7 waypoints (Brisbane, Gympie, Maryborough, Rockhampton…). A report or incident counts as on the corridor when it lies within 20 km of the line between those waypoints. City-level geocoded reports are approximate by nature — they mark the city, not the exact carriageway.

What should I do if I am in a crash on the Bruce Highway?

Get to a safe place away from live lanes if you can, call 000, and give the direction, junction or mile marker. Do not stand between vehicles or on the hard shoulder longer than necessary. This page is informational and updates every 15 minutes; it is not an emergency service.
