StreetCheatRoad closure alerts
Know about closures before they happen.
StreetCheat watches the drives you make most (home to work, school drop-off, the weekly run to the job site) and tells you when a road closure is in your way, before you leave.

- Rotating shifts
How it works
Set it up once. Hear about it first.
Add a route once
Where from, where to, which days, and what time you leave. On a rotating shift? Pick your pattern.
We check it every hour
Against official closure information from state transportation departments and city and county governments.
You hear about it first
A notification when something is on your way and, if you like, an email summary the evening before.
Your next drive
Is your next drive clear?
Open StreetCheat and the answer is at the top: your next drive and anything in its way, then the week ahead, day by day.
- Your actual route. Closures on the roads you drive, not every closure in the city.
- Only when you drive. A daytime lane closure won't bother you on a 5 AM commute.
- A way around. See whether an alternate route is clear.
Closure details
See exactly what's closed
Tap a closure for what it is, which direction, and the days and hours it's in place, with the agency's own notes word for word.
- Straight from the source. State transportation departments and city and county open data. See every source.
- A reminder before you leave. One tap, and StreetCheat nudges you before that drive.
- Word when it changes. Hear when a closure on your drive changes or clears.
Shift work
Built for rotating shifts
Pick your pattern, tap your first day on, and StreetCheat knows every drive after that. Made for nurses, first responders and anyone on a rotation.
- Ready-made patterns. From 1 on / 2 off to 7 on / 7 off, plus 2-2-3.
- Or build your own. Any run of days on and days off.
- Regular hours too. Or pick the same days every week, like Monday to Friday.
Alerts
A heads-up, not a flood
You hear about closures on the drives you make, and nothing about the rest of the city.
- Quiet hours. Alerts wait until your quiet hours end. A leaving-soon reminder still gets through.
- The evening before. An email for each route whose next drive has closures, at the time you choose.
- Every Sunday. A week-ahead preview of every drive, even when they're all clear.

Why trust it
Straight answers from official sources
Official sources
State transportation departments and city and county open data. See every source.
Your direction only
A closure on the other side of the highway won't set off an alert.
Private by design
Never your phone's location, only the addresses you type. No ads, no tracking, and we never sell your data.
Not a government app
An independent app that reads public data. Posted signs and the agencies' own announcements always come first.
Where it works
All 50 states and about 400 cities and counties
State highways in all 50 states, plus city and county streets in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, Austin, Indianapolis, Nashville, Las Vegas, Washington DC, Boston, Miami, Seattle, Denver, Detroit and more than 380 other cities and counties.
