Long Island Traffic

About

The Long Island Traffic editorial team monitors traffic conditions, accident reports, road closures, and safety information across Nassau and Suffolk County around the clock. Our reporting infrastructure combines automated data feeds from 511NY (New York State DOT), the National Weather Service KISP station, Suffolk County Police Department press releases, Nassau County Police Department incident reports, MTA/LIRR service alerts, and Google News regional monitoring. Each incident report goes through a multi-step enrichment pipeline: automated ingest, source article decoding, fact extraction, location geocoding with Mapbox, and editorial AI review with human oversight. The team also produces the site's Know Your Rights legal guides, road profiles with safety statistics, and town-by-town safety data covering every community on Long Island.
