Road closure heads-up

Know about VIP road closures before you're stuck in them.

VIP and motorcade visits can close roads a day or two ahead. Detour Radar is the heads-up and the public-event listing, so you hear about it before you leave. Waze and Google Maps still do the driving.

How it works

VIP and motorcade visits can close roads a day or two ahead. The FAA posts the restriction publicly. On the ground, that usually means closed roads and heavy traffic. This page is the early warning, not the drive.

1

Save your places

Add home, work, and school, and pick how far out you care about: 10 to 100 miles.

2

We watch the FAA

The public map refreshes about every 10 minutes. Pro checks for a new FAA notice about every 5 minutes, then sends an alert.

3

You get a heads-up

An alert the moment one lands near you, a reminder the morning of, and a one-tap add to your calendar.

Community

Closures, detours, and places to go.

Community closures, detours, and events are how people hear about places to go. Any party or cause. The page stays nonpartisan: it lists what is public, and it does not say who the VIP is.

  • โœ“

    Find and join public events

    Rallies, town halls, and community events, for any party or cause. If it is open to the public, it belongs here.

  • โœ“

    Share area traffic reports

    "Main St. closed near the arena," "heavy backups on I-75." Reports cover the general area and show up delayed, never as live positions.

  • โœ“

    Confirmed by real people

    Reports start as unconfirmed and get verified by other nearby members or by official notices. Accurate reporters earn a trusted badge.

Questions

Does this follow a motorcade?+

No. You get a heads-up that roads may close, and a listing of public events. There is no live path, no direction, no speed, and no name for who is visiting. Community reports are delayed and area-level.

Where does the data come from?+

The FAA publishes temporary flight restrictions for VIP visits on its public website, usually one to three days ahead. The public map refreshes from those notices about every 10 minutes. Pro checks for a new FAA notice about every 5 minutes, then sends an alert. That is not live traffic. Community reports come from verified Pro members.

Is it political?+

No. Traffic is traffic. Public events from any party or cause are welcome. The listing does not take a side.

Will it tell me exactly which roads close?+

The FAA notice covers airspace, not streets, so we tell you the time window and the affected area. Confirmed community reports and local news fill in road-level impact where available.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. Manage or cancel your subscription yourself in one click, no emails or phone calls.

Hear about the next closure before you leave.
