Caltrans signs and feeds
Caltrans signs
Drive time and traffic status
The Caltrans “Big Bear NN MIN” drive-time estimate appears here when the sign is showing one.
- Open, delays likely or closed for each highway, worked out from the Caltrans and CHP reports on this page.
“Open” means no closure, chain control or incident is reported. Nothing free measures ordinary weekend traffic on these highways; the Waze map below shows it.
Caltrans message signs
What the highway signs say
The electronic signs on Highway 18 and on the freeways at the bottom of the mountain. Most are blank unless something is happening.
- The current text of each Caltrans message sign is listed here.
Caltrans cameras and road weather
Cameras and road weather
Caltrans has one camera on the mountain (Highway 18 at Lake Gregory) and none on Highway 38 or 330. The others show the bottom of each highway. Each link opens Caltrans’ latest snapshot, refreshed every few minutes.
- Links to each Caltrans camera snapshot are listed here.
