I wrote new code to support the new website and tested it. It seems to
work, so I just made it live.

If you speak unix, the new way to get caltrans info is:
wget -O - --post-data="roadnumber=$road" https://roads.dot.ca.gov/ 2>/dev/null | sed -e '1,/\/h3/ d' -e "/^<hr/,$ d" | lynx -stdin -dump | tr '\012\015' '| ' | sed "s/| *|/@/g" | tr '|@' ' \012' | sed -e "s/^ *//" -e "s/  */ /g"

Who needs hundreds of line of code when one line of unix shell will do :)

Cheers,
Marc
