The road conditions web service can return all the active road conditions in South Carolina or all active road conditions for a specified emergency event in a KML format. This web service is primarily for other state agencies and business who have GIS or IT staff. It may be invoked programmatically using a GET or POST request. The results will be updated every 10 minutes. Calls within 10 minutes will return the same data. The first call after a 10-minute interval may take longer to process.
