Traffic Incidents

Traffic incidents refer to any events that disrupt the normal flow of vehicle and pedestrian traffic on roadways. These incidents can include accidents, collisions, breakdowns, construction activities, or other occurrences that impede movement. Traffic incidents often lead to delays, congestion, and may result in injuries or fatalities. They can involve various types of vehicles, such as cars, trucks, buses, or motorcycles, and may also involve pedestrians or cyclists. Traffic incidents are significant for transportation agencies, as they require prompt response for safety, management, and the restoration of normal traffic conditions. Data on traffic incidents is frequently used for traffic planning, road safety improvements, and law enforcement activities.
