Traffic and Road Conditions

The potential for dangerous flooding with a coastal hurricane impact is high. As a result, increased situational awareness is advised if you or family members are heading out on the roads during such weather events.

National 511 System

On July 21, 2000, the FCC assigned 511 as a nationwide telephone number for intelligent transportation system (ITS) traveler information. Managed by the Federal Highway Admin. (FHWA), the system allows drivers to dial “511" on their phones and receive real-time traffic information. Depending on the time and system load, you will either hear recorded messages or speak directly with a human operator who can provide traffic information.
