I hope I am not breaking any cross posting rules

I hate commuting and So I Invented my own traffic reporting system. It allows users to record their own reports and it allows other users to vote based on the content... dumb reports will get deleted quickly. Also USers that subscribe to the twitter user Will get any Trafic ALERTS (real alerts like nimitz the otherday) SMS'd right to the cell phone. There is also a leaderboard to ecourage good reporting. Give it Try, I am trying to get users to Use the system! It would have saved me time on nimitz If i knew (since I could have listened on the system) and taken the h1 thru town.
the website is http://www.kokuatraffic.com
and you can call in to the number 792-8884 its totally free.
I hope it helps some people get the road conditions in realtime before you leave the office and during the commute!

Re: Community Driven Traffic Reporting

I think this is a fantastic idea and I'll use it. I confess to being somewhat obsessive about commute times, etc. and actually went through the exercise of travelling the different routes home and logging the times over a month-long period. I also drive around the island alot and welcome the opportunity to contribute to providing traffic info as well as getting info. When the Sand Island/Nimitz accident happened, I had two different people call to tell me about it. In the future, I can let others know as well.
