About this site

395live.com exists for one drive: US-395 from the Nevada state line to Bishop, through the Eastern Sierra. It reads the same Caltrans District 9 feeds the highway signs and the official apps read, and it answers the way a driver asks, in spoken questions: Is US-395 open? Is Conway Summit open? Do I need chains today? Is it windy in Bishop?

The verdict always comes first, on every page, server rendered and stamped with the feed's own update time. The chain verdict is read from Caltrans's posted level for each checkpoint, never guessed from words in a sentence. Cameras are presented as what they are, eight Caltrans stills in driving order with the gaps named, because on this corridor the honest map of the cameras is part of the answer.

This site is part of a small network of pass condition sites run by Bright Red Design, each built for one road and one set of questions. The Nevada half of this drive, Reno to Carson City, is covered by our sister site i80pass.com, which is also where this corridor's pages lived before 395live stood on its own.

Corrections and questions: contact@395live.com. If the site and Caltrans ever disagree, Caltrans is right, and we fix the site.
