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. 

  1. In the map controls on the right-hand side of the screen, select Content Layers and toggle on the switch for Traffic Congestion.
  2. Closed roads have a black overlay, as in this October 2024 example near Asheville, NC, after Hurricane Helene.
