Questions

I-40 — FAQ

Is there an accident on the I-40 today?

No news report naming the I-40 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 I-40 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 I-40' defined?

The road is stored as 13 waypoints (Barstow, Flagstaff, Albuquerque, Amarillo…). 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 I-40?

Get to a safe place away from live lanes if you can, call 911, 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.
