traffic alert
Road delay notice
A traffic alert is a notification warning drivers about road conditions—accidents, congestion, construction, or closures—that may affect their route.
Radio stations broadcast traffic alerts during commutes, and navigation apps push them in real time: I got a traffic alert about a three-car pileup on the interstate.
The term also applies to aviation advisories about potential midair conflicts.
