Road Corridor Watch

One named road treated as a place: we store it as a line of waypoints, then pull together every headline that names it (country-matched), every official incident inside a 12–20 km buffer of that line, geocoded reports from the live feed and the nearest traffic cameras. Nothing new is fetched — it is the same verified feeds, cut along a road instead of a country.

They are the routes people search for by name when something happens: British motorways (M25, M1, M4, M5, M6, M62) and A-roads (A1, A14, A47, A55, A303 and the A9 in Scotland), US interstates (I-95, I-5, I-10, I-15, I-17, I-75, I-80, I-40, I-35, I-70, I-4, I-90, I-94 and both I-84s), Ontario's 401 and BC's Coquihalla, Australia's Bruce, Hume and Pacific highways, South Africa's N1 and N3, Pakistan's motorways, GT Road, Karakoram Highway and the RCD and Indus highways, India's expressways and NH-44, and the busiest corridors of Nigeria, Kenya, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Malaysia, Ireland and New Zealand. More are added when a road has enough named coverage to be useful.

The headline counts are news mentions, not police statistics. The incident table is official where an authority publishes a feed (511 systems, state DOT layers, city portals) and MapQuest/TomTom data elsewhere. Outside North America, Britain and Australia most road authorities publish no machine-readable incident feed, so those pages rely on news and MapQuest data.
