Traffic: Light problems on Route 4, North Kingstown

NORTH KINGSTOWN – The state Department of Transportation is on its way to fix a malfunctioning traffic light on Route 4 at West Allenton Road. For now, the police are directing traffic, which is building already, according to a police dispatcher.

Otherwise, traffic in the Ocean State seems pretty normal for the moment. That could change, of course, as people begin heading out of town for the July Fourth holiday, which AAA Southern New England predicts will bring a record number of travelers onto the roads, beginning as early as today.

For other traffic needs, check out the state roadways, via the Department of Transportation's online traffic offerings.

You can find any traffic alerts describing accidents here, browse traffic cams to see real-time photos of the highways and check out the DOT’s road construction schedule here.

Also, check out congestion mapping -- i.e., how heavy the traffic is – here and listen to or read the radio reports for the week about traffic and construction on specific roadways.

To report a traffic incident, call the Transportation Management Center at (401) 222-5826 and choose option #2.
