Indiana traffic & infrastructure — live
Active incidents, construction zones, and traffic cameras across our six-county Southern Indiana watch area, fed from INDOT / 511in.org and cached by the TCG research server. Auto-refreshes every minute.
Live research
The research server is offline right now
This site only shows findings and accepts tips when the TCG research server is reachable. If you are the operator: start the local server, or check that your reverse-proxy tunnel is up. If you are a reader: check back in a few minutes, or use one of the links below to reach us directly.
How we work
Methodology
Journalism-style. Every finding cites primary sources. We do not accept payment from businesses to remove or change entries.
Step 1
Collect public records
Indiana Secretary of State filings, Attorney General consumer-protection actions, BMV dealer licensing, BBB complaint histories, federal court filings, local news of record.
Step 2
Cross-reference entities
Registered agents, P.O. boxes, ownership transitions, d/b/a chains, and license lapses. Multiple LLCs sharing infrastructure get linked into a single profile.
Step 3
Cite everything
Every claim links back to a primary document. We quote complaints rather than paraphrasing. Businesses can request factual corrections with supporting documentation.
Not legal advice, not a ratings service, not a lead-gen tool. IBE does not charge businesses or consumers. If a profile contains a factual error, contact us with documentation. Removal requests without supporting documentation are publicly logged.
Submit a tip
Know something we should look at?
Give us a business name and the pattern you've seen. We verify independently before anything gets published. Anonymous submissions are fine.
