Field notes
The page describes signals from stopped traffic, railroad radio, and City of Madison notices as inputs to its blockage estimates. Its example shows a blocked alert followed by a clear alert about 14 minutes later, while explicitly labeling the example as not live. Phone setup instructions differ by platform: iPhone users need iOS 16.4 or later and must add the site to the Home Screen; Android instructions use Chrome.
