Abstract
Methods and systems to crowd source road related information. The crowd sourced road related information may include lane-specific data related to a lane-level police presence and/or a disabled roadside vehicle presence. The crowd sourced road related information may include lane-level vehicle spacing information. The communication of the lane-specific data to a crowd sourced road condition server may occur automatically in one mode and may occur only after confirmation from a user in another mode.
