• 2026-11-05dogpolicies_i5_conditionsadded

  Current Caltrans lane closures, road-weather station readings, changeable-message-sign text and chain-control status on I-5 in California, each placed on the I-5 centerline (s meters from San Ysidro and the Caltrans mile) and matched to the nearest DogPolicies dog stop. Conditions come from Caltrans' CWWP2 feeds fetched within the last 15 minutes (fetched_at in the result) and are not verified rules. The window is a mile range (from_mile, to_mile) or a point with a direction and ahead_miles; with none, the whole of I-5 in California. Needs the network (the document is read from dogpolicies.com); offline the result is an error with code offline. Examples: - "Is there a closure or chains on the Grapevine right now?" -> from_mile=170, to_mile=222 - "Weather and closures in the next 60 miles northbound from Redding" -> near={lat:40.59, lon:-122.39}, direction="north", ahead_miles=60

• 2026-11-05dogpolicies_i5_corridoradded

  The I-5 corridor in California as eleven named stretches (strips) on the I-5 centerline, from San Ysidro (s = 0 m) to the Oregon line (s ≈ 1,281,400 m), and the dog stops in any stretch, mile range or window ahead of a point. Every stop carries its s in meters from San Ysidro, its Caltrans odometer mile, the side of the road it serves (right or left of northbound travel, or both), its distance off the freeway, the road's elevation, and restrooms, water, pet area, dog park and hours as its official source states them. A family stop is one whose official source states restrooms and a pet area or dog park. A paired stop is a freeway exit with places to stop for people nearby (located through OpenStreetMap, counted by kind, never named and not verified for restrooms) matched to the nearest DogPolicies place that allows dogs within about a mile, with its rule and source. With no stretch, miles or point, the result is the list of stretches with their s and mile ranges and stop counts. Strips: sandiego (San Ysidro → Camp Pendleton), orange-la (Camp Pendleton → East LA), grapevine (East LA → Wheeler Ridge), kern-westside (Wheeler Ridge → Kettleman), westside (Kettleman → Santa Nella), delta (Santa Nella → Stockton), sacramento (Stockton → Woodland), valley (Woodland → Williams), tehama (Williams → Red Bluff), shasta (Red Bluff → Mt Shasta), siskiyou (Mt Shasta → Siskiyou Summit). Examples: - "What is between the Grapevine and Kettleman?" -> strip="grapevine" (East LA to Wheeler Ridge) and strip="kern-westside" (Wheeler Ridge to Kettleman) - "The next 5 family stops northbound from Stockton" -> near={lat:37.95, lon:-121.29}, direction="north", family=true, limit=5 - "Every stop between mile 300 and 340" -> from_mile=300, to_mile=340 - "Exits with somewhere for people and a park for the dog in the Sacramento stretch" -> strip="sacramento", paired=true

  Dog-friendly stops along a California or Nevada highway, in driving order: rest areas (Caltrans rest areas with pet areas; Nevada rest areas, where leashed dogs are allowed), travel stops with dog parks, hotels, cabin resorts and campgrounds or RV parks near the road (all checked against the dog's weight and the pet-fee budget) and parks or beaches that allow dogs. Each stop has its mile on the route and its distance off the road. Each route covers one state and stops at the state line. California miles follow the Caltrans odometer: north on I-5 (from the Mexican border), US-101 (from Los Angeles), Highway 1 (from Dana Point) and I-15 (i-15, San Diego to Primm); east on I-80 (i-80, San Francisco to the Nevada line) and US-50 (us-50, West Sacramento to Stateline). Nevada routes count Nevada mileposts from the California line, matching the exit numbers: north on I-15 (i-15-nevada), east on I-80 (i-80-nevada) and US-50 (us-50-nevada, Stateline to Utah); north on US-95 (us-95-nevada, California line to Oregon) and US-93 (us-93-nevada, Hoover Dam to Idaho), whose miles include the stretches they share with other highways. Where Highway 1 runs on US-101, stops on that stretch say so in on_road. A starting point is set with from_mile or near, plus a direction. Routes covered: I-5 (i-5, 796 miles), US-101 (us-101, 809 miles), Highway 1 (highway-1, 736 miles), I-15 (i-15, 294 miles), I-80 (i-80, 204 miles), US-50 (us-50, 109 miles), I-15 (i-15-nevada, 124 miles), I-80 (i-80-nevada, 410 miles), US-50 (us-50-nevada, 409 miles), US-95 (us-95-nevada, 664 miles), US-93 (us-93-nevada, 526 miles). Examples: - "Driving north on I-5 from Los Angeles with a 70 lb dog, where can we stop?" -> near={lat:34.05, lon:-118.24}, direction="north", dog_weight_lb=70 - "Pet areas on the Grapevine" -> from_mile=170, to_mile=222, kinds=["rest_area","park"] - "Heading south on 101 from San Francisco to Santa Barbara, where can the dog run?" -> route="us-101", near={lat:37.77, lon:-122.42}, to_mile=100, direction="south" - "Dog-friendly hotel near Redding under $40 a night" -> near={lat:40.59, lon:-122.39}, kinds=["lodging"], max_total_fee=40 - "Driving I-80 east from Reno with a dog, where can we stop?" -> route="i-80-nevada", near={lat:39.53, lon:-119.81}, direction="east"

Where Highway 1 runs on US-101, stops on that stretch say so in on_road. A starting point is set with from_mile or near, plus a direction; ahead_miles limits the window to that many miles from the start in the direction of travel. On I-5 in California each stop also carries its position on the I-5 centerline in meters from San Ysidro (s_m), miles_ahead of the start along the direction of travel, the side of the road it serves (right or left of northbound travel, or both), its distance off the freeway, the road's elevation in meters and the stretch (strip) it is in, plus restrooms, water, pet_area, dog_park and hours as its official source states them. With family=true only stops whose official source states restrooms and a pet area or dog park are returned. With paired=true the result also lists paired stops: a freeway exit in the window with places to stop for people nearby (located through OpenStreetMap, counted by kind, never named and not verified for restrooms) matched to the nearest DogPolicies place that allows dogs within about a mile, with its rule and source. Routes covered: I-5 (i-5, 796 miles), US-101 (us-101, 809 miles), Highway 1 (highway-1, 736 miles), I-15 (i-15, 294 miles), I-80 (i-80, 204 miles), US-50 (us-50, 109 miles), I-15 (i-15-nevada, 124 miles), I-80 (i-80-nevada, 410 miles), US-50 (us-50-nevada, 409 miles), US-95 (us-95-nevada, 664 miles), US-93 (us-93-nevada, 526 miles). Examples: - "Driving north on I-5 from Los Angeles with a 70 lb dog, where can we stop?" -> near={lat:34.05, lon:-118.24}, direction="north", dog_weight_lb=70 - "Pet areas on the Grapevine" -> from_mile=170, to_mile=222, kinds=["rest_area","park"] - "Next place in 40 miles where the whole family can use a restroom, dog included, northbound at Harris Ranch" -> near={lat:36.25, lon:-120.25}, direction="north", ahead_miles=40, family=true - "Exits with a coffee shop and a park for the dog between Sacramento and Redding" -> from_mile=520, to_mile=680, paired=true - "Heading south on 101 from San Francisco to Santa Barbara, where can the dog run?" -> route="us-101", near={lat:37.77, lon:-122.42}, to_mile=100, direction="south" - "Dog-friendly hotel near Redding under $40 a night" -> near={lat:40.59, lon:-122.39}, kinds=["lodging"], max_total_fee=40 - "Driving I-80 east from Reno with a dog, where can we stop?" -> route="i-80-nevada", near={lat:39.53, lon:-119.81}, direction="east"

  Plan a stay in a California or Nevada town with a dog, in one call: where to stay (hotels, campgrounds and cabins that will take this dog, with the pet fee for the whole stay worked out), what to do (beaches, parks and trails that allow dogs, nearest first) and where to eat (patios that take dogs), every item with its citation. Inputs: the town or county and the dog: weight, how many dogs, nights, and the most the user will pay in pet fees. Examples: - "Three nights in Monterey with our 70 lb Lab, pet fees under $100" -> place="Monterey", dog_weight_lb=70, nights=3, max_total_fee=100 - "A weekend in South Lake Tahoe with two small dogs" -> place="South Lake Tahoe", dogs=2, nights=2 - "Camping near Mammoth Lakes with a dog" -> place="Mono County", stay_types=["campground","cabins"]

  The full record for one place you already know by id: every dog rule with its display text, the rules list, and each source with its URL, publisher, capture date and quote. A place on I-5 in California also carries its axis position (s meters from San Ysidro on the I-5 centerline, Caltrans mile, meters off the road, side of northbound travel, road elevation, strip) and, when it is the dog side of a paired stop, that pair: the exit and the people-stops near it (counted from OpenStreetMap, never named, not verified for restrooms). Takes a place id, as returned in every search result. Example: id="carmel-beach".

  File a correction when a user says a rule on a record is wrong or has changed (a fee went up, a beach closed to dogs, a hotel now takes two pets). The report goes to a person who re-reads the official source; nothing is published automatically and the record does not change until it is verified. Give the place id, what is wrong in a sentence or two, and the official page the user saw, if any. Never send personal details beyond an optional contact the user offers.
