Drop the Distraction
The primary responsibility of every driver is the safe operation of their vehicle. While traveling, mobile communication devices should be used only when the motor vehicle is at a complete stop off the traveled portion of the roadway. Do not text and drive (it's against the law) or use this app while driving. For more information about distracted driving in Colorado and safety tips, visit https://distracted.codot.gov.

Ratings and reviews

The app is pretty good, when it works, or when the cdot IT infrastructure works to feed the app the necessary data. Case in point, as I write this review, Sat Dec 17, most all of the cdot cameras on the I-70 corridor from Denver west, and hwy 40 cameras are OUT OF SERVICE, HARD DOWN, most don't even show up on the app screen. I've found that typically when you need cdot information most, peak travel periods, bad weather, they are broken, they fail to provide you with the necessary information.

Since I am moving to CO, I wanted to get a jump on the 511 system there. This app is horrendous. I am in VA and us the VA 511 app which works amazing, but this app CO put out is garbage. It's clunky, buggy, and not intuitive. I clicked an icon and got a pop-up that was blank. When I went to close the icon, the app crashed. Cool, I see that CO responds to reviews and "fixes" the issue, but this is typical government work, roll something out from the lowest bidder before it's ready.

Not really sure how to make this useful. I saved a favorite route on the website and it shows up under favorites in the app, but tapping it doesn't bring it up in the map. I have to start over every time. I tried recreating it in the app but can't figure out how to edit it in the app. The old website from a couple of years ago was much easier to use and navigate, now it's really cluttered.

What's new

- New Road Closures button
- Default map layers for summer
