PC*Miler Web's traffic feature can help you identify in real-time where roads are closed due to damage from hurricanes or other severe weather. To turn on this feature:
- Before entering the stops on your route, select the Arrival/Depart drop-down, and check the slider next to Apply Traffic.
- Select Depart Now, and select Set to finish.
- As PC*Miler calculates the route, it will look for any current road closures and route around them—unless one of your stops is located on a closed road.
View road closures on the map
You can also view closures on the PC*Miler map.
- In the map controls on the right-hand side of the screen, select Content Layers and toggle on the switch for Traffic Congestion.
- Closed roads have a black overlay, as in this October 2024 example near Asheville, NC, after Hurricane Helene.
