SBCAG Launches SBRoads.com
The SBRoads.com site features real-time traffic conditions for Highway 101 between Carpinteria and Goleta, freeway cameras with live video feeds, and information about incidents reported by the CHP. The website is centered around a map of the South Coast and provides estimated travel times for common trips in the region.
“The new SBRoads.com site is a big improvement for travelers who want to take a quick look at what traffic conditions are like before they get on the freeway” said SBCAG Executive Director Jim Kemp. “There’s nothing like being able to watch live video of where you’re going to be in a few minutes so you can know what to expect–commuters now have a new way to plan their trip and make adjustments if necessary.”
SBRoads.com also provides detailed information about major transportation projects in the county, including the Santa Maria River Bridge, the Union Valley Parkway Interchange, and additional passing lanes on HWY 166. The site has an entire section on the four-phase US 101 widening program, including a video simulation of the six mile carpool lane expansion between Mussel Shoals and Carpinteria that began construction in April.
