Traffic and Road Conditions

As is being widely reported through mainstream media, 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 in the coming days.

National 511 System

The 511 system is a national traffic information resource established by the U.S. Dept of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The system allows drivers in participating states/cities to dial “511" on their phones and receive real-time traffic information, such as:

Road closures
Accidents
Route detours
Weather alerts
AMBER alerts
Border crossing wait times
Highway conditions
Ride-sharing details
Live camera feeds

35 states currently participate in the 511 system.

When in a participating state, simply dial "511" on your mobile device. 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.

The following websites also provide information on real-time road conditions in hurricane impact states:
