ADOT Software

About this app

AZ511 works in conjunction with the Arizona Department of Transportation's AZ511.gov, the Arizona Traveler Information website, to provide the latest information on conditions along the state highway system. Users will receive information on delays, crashes, construction and closures, as well as alternate routes to help drivers avoid backups. Motorists may view ADOT's statewide network of cameras on the app. Drivers can get real-time information on their routes by entering their destinations into the app. Travelers may also save regularly used routes and receive alerts along those routes.

The app includes these features:
• Traffic cameras
• Real-time updates on highway incidents and delays
• Personalized routes
• Travel times
• Alternate routes
• Drive mode
• Speed map

Reminders:
It is not safe to use your phone while driving. Please enter drive mode for audio alerts while on the road.
Suggested alternate routes shown on az511.gov are generated automatically by a third party and can include local roads. For official ADOT alternate routes, which in most cases will involve state highways, please consult ADOT's Twitter account at twitter.com/ArizonaDOT and the information provided by the free ADOT Alerts app at ADOTAlerts.com.

COMMERCIAL VEHICLE DRIVERS: Large trucks are prohibited on State Route 89A between Flagstaff and Sedona, State Route 89A between Clarkdale and Prescott Valley, and State Route 89 between Prescott and US 93 northwest of Wickenburg.

Ratings and reviews

Overall, seems to be a good interface to traffic data in Arizona. Found a rather disturbing bug when trying to set a saved route, and opted to avoid highways. It provided no route options, and had to uninstall the app to reset the option. Also found the exit feature requires requires "backing out" to shut down. not sure if that's a feature or a bug.
