511 |
The new system provides more information and allows the caller to get road conditions for targeted areas.
By dialing “511,” motorists can learn about road conditions, if there are incidents or crashes that may slow traffic and if there are lane closures caused by road construction.
The call is free, although normal cell phone charges apply. The DOT urges people not to call while driving.
Road conditions can also be found at the DOT's Web site.
