Real-time traffic data for construction
Minimize disruption, fast track project schedules, and reduce public complaints with data at your fingertips
Disruptions due to road construction are costly and unsafe. Plan lane closures with confidence, monitor live work zone traffic conditions as they unfold, improve work zone safety, and validate traffic control strategies with real-time and historical traffic data — no hardware needed.
Reduce uncertainty with continuous visibility into real-time traffic across your network, including active work zones and new roads
Prevent traffic ripple effects and manage work zone traffic before, during, and after construction.
Evaluate lane closure scenarios to understand diversion routes, traffic spillover, and congestion before implementing traffic control plans.
Monitor live work zone traffic and queues to identify issues, improve safety, and respond before conditions worsen.
Post-project, analyze travel patterns, support TMP and MOT decisions, and report on traffic flow improvements.
Make the most efficient project decisions with validated real-time traffic information

Georgia DOT manages construction on a busy interchange without jamming traffic
Read case studyGDOT needed to solve congestion on the I-285/SR 400 interchange. Traffic volume data was scarce because no physical counters existed on new roads, and many older counters were removed during construction.
GDOT gained instant access to real-time traffic volumes and speeds from StreetLight on all major roads in the construction zone to advise the contractor on optimal days and times for lane closures. The team got the needed evidence to close lanes and complete more work faster while ensuring work zone stayed safe and congestion didn’t worsen, resulting in huge time and cost savings over the manual counts they had done in the past. GDOT knew commuters felt the difference because there were zero complaints from the public to their 511 number about traffic conditions.

Real-time traffic data is data that is collected on how vehicles are moving right now. We offer real-time, near real, and historical data on traffic patterns to assist in maintenance of traffic planning and rapid response traffic management during construction projects. Real-time speeds and incident feeds are updated as frequently as every 1-2 minutes, so you get insights on how traffic patterns are changing right now.
Construction projects often create uncertainty around lane closures, detours, queue formation and work zone safety. StreetLight’s Traffic Monitor platform provides real-time and historical traffic data that helps agencies make better decisions before, during, and after construction activities while improving visibility into live work zone traffic conditions. Before construction, agencies can evaluate lane closure scenarios, identify low-impact work windows, and build more defensible Transportation Management Plans (TMPs) and Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) strategies. During active construction, teams can monitor live work zone traffic conditions, including speeds, travel times, delays, queue formation, and diversion routes to quickly identify emerging congestion and understand how traffic is shifting across the network. This enables faster operational decisions that help protect both roadway workers and the public. After implementation, agencies can compare before, during, and after conditions to validate traffic control plans, document project performance, and respond to public complaints with objective data.
No. StreetLight’s Construction solution is available via web-based Traffic Monitor platform. This platform provides network-wide visibility across highways, arterials, and collector roads without requiring agencies to deploy additional cameras, sensors, or field equipment. This allows teams to review, monitor, and validate construction or lane closure impacts before, during, and after more quickly and cost-effectively.
StreetLight provides instant always-on access to real-time and historical data that can be used to track daily traffic patterns across your network. This allows practitioners to compare real-time disruptions to typical conditions, including when volumes exceed or fall below normal thresholds. For practitioners working on Active Traffic Management, we offer a continuous feed updated in real-time every 1-2 minutes. Near-real-time data is updated every 24-48hrs.
