I think it just depeneds in what kind of market you are in. I'm in the Providence/Boston area, so my Intellistar has TrafficPulse.

If you're somewhere in I don't know, Idaho, they probably wouldn't bother to put up TrafficPulse.

Earlier, our STAR duplicated a traffic report:

Incident, Hwy-11 Gilcrease Exwy WB

[MEDIUM IMPACT] - at Memorial Dr - earlier accident is clear

Incident, Hwy-11 Gilcrease Exwy EB

[MEDIUM IMPACT] - at Memorial Dr - earlier accident is clear

That's because one report is for WB, one for EB.

its kind of a waste of space (not to mention confusing)...can't they simply combine the two:

Incident, Hwy-11 Gilcrease Exwy WB & EB

[MEDIUM IMPACT] - at Memorial Dr - earlier accident is clear

btw did you ever get my pm on twcc?

The problem is, the data comes from a third-party vendor, they [TWC] have no way of editing it. Traffic Pulse's response to this was - they have to keep it separate (EB & WB or NB & SB) as that's how their platform is built. :thinking:

I believe they said it in the forums once when a complaint was posted about it awhile back.

Yeah, same here. In addition, Weatherscan's estimated precip map was unavailable. It returned just after midnight tonight.

I'm certain Chris Hoitsma is on vacation which is why he's not sending any playlists.

It's not a big deal though i'm hoping they'll post the august playlist on twc's site.

I went to Seguin, TX last Friday and  they has an IntelliStar from New Braunfles with Traffic Pulse from San Antonio.

I remeber back in August 2007, I went to South Padre Island and they didn't had their own IntelliStar. Instead, they has it from Brownsville.

I'm thinking most likely the new August playlist will start either Sunday or Monday.
