Traffic Incident Management (TIM) helps reduce non-recurring congestion caused by incidents on state routes. TIM also helps reduce incident related traveler delay to the absolute minimum while protecting the environment and maintaining safety for the victims, responders and travelers. TIM improves safety for responders and the travelling public by warning/informing the motorist of real-time unexpected conditions ahead. For more information, view the Traffic Operations Manual, Traffic Incident Management.
