Ah, yes, I forgot to mention. Caltrans is of course making my job hard
as usual. I need to do keyword searching and I just had to guess on what
keywords they will be using. Also, nothing says they won't change those
keywords tomorrow or that 2 different caltrans employees can use 2
different way of naming the same road. Given that it's likely typed on
phones, if they have typos I'll also miss the update, sorry.
 

SR-88 is polled from http://twitter.com/CaltransDist10 I look for either "Carson" or "SR-88"
SR-89 is polled from http://twitter.com/caltransdist3 and I only look for 'Hwy 89'
US-50 is polled from http://twitter.com/caltransdist3 and I only look for 'Hwy 50'
I-80 is polled from http://twitter.com/caltransdist3 and I only look for 'I-80'

Twitter is typed by hand by someone who could change overnight with
someone else who could suddenly start writing US-50 instead of 'Hwy 50'
or somesuch.
If you notice other road relevant twitter posts that are using different
spelling or words that will otherwise not match other irrelevant stuff
that would spam you, let me know.

Thanks,
Marc
