The official definition of a Sigalert is "any unplanned event that causes the closing of one lane of traffic for 30 minutes or more." Q. What is the origin of the term Sigalert? A. Sigalerts are named after an early radio engineer in Los Angeles, Loyd Sigmon.
The Sigalert iPhone app is simple to use, but packed with information: *** MORE THAN JUST RED/YELLOW/GREEN - Sigalert offers incredibly detailed speed information.
CalTrans also uses the term "Sig-Alert", and it has now come to be commonly defined as any traffic incident that will tie up two or more lanes of a freeway for two or more hours. As of 2007 not all California radio stations use this term.

Google Maps is one of the most prominent traffic navigation apps. It's evolved over the years from a basic turn-by-turn service to warning of traffic events and predicting the time you should leave to arrive at that meeting on your Google Calendar. Google Maps isn't limited to cars and trucks.
Local police would notify Loyd Sigmon, a popular Los Angeles radio reporter, of bad accidents. He would then inform the public on his show. Eventually, the broadcasts became widely known as “Sig-Alerts.” The police then began sending the alerts via electronic devices to Sigmon and other journalists.
