Chatham Borough Police Department Launches Innovative Road Construction & Traffic Disruption Map

Navigating through road construction and other traffic disruptions can be a daunting task for motorists, residents, business owners, and emergency services alike. In an effort to enhance traffic management and provide real-time updates on roadway construction or disruption activities, the Chatham Borough Police Department is thrilled to introduce its latest innovation: the Chatham Borough Road Construction & Traffic Disruption Map.

Accessible from any device and anywhere in the world, the Chatham Borough Road Construction & Traffic Disruption Map is a dynamic tool designed to keep the community informed about current and upcoming road construction projects likely to impact traffic flow. Whether you're a resident, a business owner, a visitor, or an emergency responder, this map is your go-to resource for navigating Chatham Borough's roadways effectively.

Key features of the Chatham Borough Road Construction & Traffic Disruption Map include:

1. Color-coded icons: The map utilizes a simple and intuitive color-coded system to indicate the nature of traffic disruptions. A green icon signifies that roadwork is present, but the roadway is fully open for vehicular traffic. A yellow icon indicates the presence of roadwork and either a partial closure or alternating traffic patterns managed by police or traffic flaggers. A red icon denotes road closures accessible only to local traffic, such as residents or vendors requiring access to properties on the street.
2. Comprehensive information: Clicking on a colored icon provides detailed information related to the roadwork or traffic disruption, including dates, times, and any other pertinent information motorists may need when approaching the area. This ensures that drivers can plan their routes accordingly and anticipate any delays or detours.
3. Real-time updates: The map is updated each weekday to provide the latest information on road construction activities, ensuring that users have access to the most current data available. Emergency closures may not be represented on this map.

Chief Brian Gibbons, of the Chatham Borough Police Department, expressed enthusiasm about the launch of the Road Construction & Traffic Disruption Map, stating, "Our primary goal is to enhance safety and convenience for all road users in Chatham Borough. By providing real-time updates and detailed information about road construction activities, we aim to minimize disruptions and help motorists navigate our streets more efficiently."
