Traffic Alerts Find Their Way To New Hampshire


In most states with major cities like Boston and New York, traffic alert services are common, but in New Hampshire, finding a way to get traffic alerts has been unheard of. Normally, traffic in NH is well handled by our Department of Transportation. But we all know of the traffic nightmares we have endured over the years due to situations that the NH DOT simply cannot control, like: Traffic accidents, brush fires, snow storms and even a recent tornado. These events can close major roadways in an instant, leaving motorists stranded to find an alternate route through roadways that are not well known to them. Most times creating a traffic delay on the detour route itself. A good example of this was last week on Friday April 10, 2009 when (during the height of the evening commute) I-93 Southbound was closed in Derry near exit 5 due to a serious crash where a helicopter needed to land on I-93 and created a traffic disaster on the highway and nearby roadways. This same event was played out again on Monday April 13, 2009 on Rt. 106 in Gilmanton in yet another serious accident. In this accident, 3 helicopters were needed to take victims to area hospitals and Rt, 106 was closed for several hours, detouring Rt. 106 traffic through a residential neighborhood.


Alerts were sent out for both of the recent events mentioned above by www.NHTrafficAlerts.com - A new, free service that sends out traffic “eAlerts” for New Hampshire roadways. These alerts were sent out before emergency crews even arrived at the scene of either of the accidents, giving their current members of the free service a huge heads up to seek an alternate route before the unsuspecting motorists even knew of the nightmare ahead. “These are not uncommon events said Matt Goodwin of NHTrafficAlerts.com. In fact, on a normal day 10 - 15 alerts are sent out for potential traffic problems that are emergency related. This excludes the normal traffic congestion (like I-93 North on a Friday night) in which we don’t send alerts for since everyone is well aware of this.”


As a added benefit, the service has also been useful in diverting traffic away from accident scenes, giving rescue crews the ability to get to and manage the emergency more effectively and allowing victims to get help a little faster. It’s because of this added benefit that NHTrafficAlerts.com encourages all NH Police Departments and Fire departments to contact them to set up a free account so they can send alerts to their own residents for traffic problems within their city, town or county. They are also seeking businesses that have a good view of a busy roadway to set up traffic cameras at their business in exchange for free advertising on their site.
