Get there faster
@jongal created a twitter traffic bot that keeps you up to speed (pun intended) with traffic around town.
@traffic_sdca - Twitter Traffic Bot for San Diego
Not that I’m jealous, but I do have to point out that the traffic (again, intended) @traffic_sdca has built in the last month has been amazing. I’ve been on Twitter since ‘nam and I’ve never had a month as good as it had since it’s inception. It grew 2000% in 40 days. I have more followers, but not for long.
How does it work?
The bot sends updates when there are alerts around town. If you’re out and about, all you need to do is direct-message the bot with your destination and it will tell you whether or not there’s an alert for that area (e.g. d traffic_sdca rosecrans)
Here are some snapshots showing you how:
@traffic_sdca - send a direct message with a street or highway to find out traffic there
No traffic on Rosecrans. All Clear!
