About Long Island Traffic

Our Mission

Long Island Traffic exists to give Nassau and Suffolk County residents the fastest, most accurate picture of what's happening on their roads. We aggregate data from 511NY, the National Weather Service, the Suffolk County Police Department, and the Nassau County Police Department — and we surface it in a way that's actually useful when you're deciding whether to leave now or wait.

We're not a government agency. We're not affiliated with any law enforcement organization. We're a local publisher that cares about getting you home safely.

Editorial Standards

• — Accuracy first. We publish what we can verify. Unconfirmed reports are labeled as such and updated when official information becomes available.
• — No speculation. We do not publish cause-of-accident speculation, names of people involved, or details beyond what official sources release.
• — Source attribution. Every data point carries a source label — you can always see where the information came from.
• — Timely corrections. We correct factual errors as soon as we become aware of them. See our correction policy below.
• — Separation of editorial and commercial. Our traffic reporting is independent. Sponsored content, if any, is clearly labeled.

Correction Policy

We take accuracy seriously. If you spot an error — a wrong location, a cleared incident we haven't updated, or anything factually incorrect — please email us at corrections@longislandtraffic.com .

We respond to correction requests within 24 hours. Confirmed factual errors are corrected in place with a timestamped correction note. We do not silently delete errors — the correction note stays on the page.
