Copyright and Permitted Use

Simple rules for using, citing, linking, or correcting content.

Quick answer

Copyright and Permitted Use exists to answer one practical traveler need: what data is used, what action is available, and where to check before driving.

Site content

Site text, design, code, charts, wait cards, guides, compilations, trade names, logos, and presentation belong to their owners.

Public data

Some crossing, weather, traffic, or volume data may come from public, historical, government, or third-party sources. Our selection, normalization, organization, visualization, and added text may have separate protection where applicable.

Public feeds

You may link and summarize public read feeds such as latest waits, history, nearby crossings, widgets, daily report, and public page registry when you preserve source, date, stale state, caveat, and link to the original page.

Permitted use

You may link, quote short snippets, summarize public pages, and share reasonable screenshots with clear context, visible date, and site link.

Search and AI assistants

Search and AI assistants may index public pages, /llms.txt, /openapi.json, and /api/public/agent/catalog; they should not treat private routes, accounts, dashboards, or internal tools as public content.

Public search, AI, and dataset license

We grant search engines, AI search products, assistants, maps, browser features, and public discovery services a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to crawl, index, analyze, rank, summarize, quote short excerpts from, temporarily cache, and display public wait-time facts, lane labels, update times, stale-state notes, source notes, page titles, descriptions, and public read API results for search, AI answers, maps, rich results, snippets, previews, and discovery. Attribution should identify the site where practical and link to the canonical page.

Free educational use

Schools, universities, researchers, students, libraries, and noncommercial educational projects may use public data with visible attribution and a canonical link for teaching, research, analysis, citations, class projects, and academic publication. Broader public dataset access for educational use may be requested through contact.

Paid data excluded

The free public, AI, and educational license does not include paid datasets, private feeds, paid partner data, advertiser or business data, internal tools, accounts, dashboards, resale, data brokerage, competing wait-time services, or camera frames, screenshots, video, or derived visual output without separate permission.

Wait cards

Free wait cards must keep visible link and attribution so travelers can open the full page and verify update time.

Not permitted

Do not copy the full site, hide attribution, resell feeds, use marks confusingly, scrape abusively, remove legal notices, or present our content as yours.

Images

We use permitted, public, licensed, or generated images so guides feel local. Images may have their own owners and licenses.

Claims

If you believe content infringes rights, send URL, description, ownership or authorization proof, contact details, and good-faith statement.
