It’s a traffic level alert named after a Caltrans guy. Essentially, if they are calling a Sig Alert, find a different way or turn off the car and read a book...

Loyd Sigmon, who was on the radio in LA, I think in the 50’s. . Any big traffic problem he labelled a SigAlert. The term has carried on for decades.
