About this app

Welcome to the new 511 Alberta app.

The 511 Alberta mobile app provides real-time road and traffic information to Alberta drivers. Construction, congestion, and other delays are centrally monitored by the many cameras, sensors, and other data available to Alberta Transportation. Our 511AB app will help you plan your route, anticipate delays, and get where you're going faster.

New Version Information
The new 511 Alberta includes a completely new app which will require a new installation.

This app features a scrollable, zoomable map that displays:
- Road Conditions
- Incidents, such as collisions and other road hazards
- Over 200 Cameras, frequently updated so you can see the conditions for yourself

Other features of the app include:
- Route Comparison, enter a destination and get 3 routes with travel times displayed..
- Route Schedules, you can save a route and set a daily time to have the app run that route before you leave so you can receive automatic notifications
- Drive Mode Alerts, you can just start driving with the app on and you will be notified with an audio alert of any delays on the road ahead of you
- Citizen Reporter – submit audio reports to the 24/7 Traffic Management Centre (TMC) for issues and conditions that you experience on your route

Ratings and reviews

I've been using the web version for many years and had all but given up on the app. However, over the past 5 years, I've seen many significant value add changes in the app, namely the UI and much to my pleasant suprise, the weather radar layer; The time stamp is a nice touch. Great app.

Since there aren't any other options that I am aware of, 511 is all we have. I do prefer the older version better where you could tap on a highway and see what the conditions were. I also miss having just a list of highways versus now having to scan the whole highway you wish to travel. My guess is they wanted a do it all app, however it has become quite confusing to use at the best of times.

Garbage app that used to be a lot better. The whole point of an app like this is to provide road conditions, which is what it used to do. Now it is overly complicated and lacking the features 99% of users want. There are better map apps built into your phone. The development team need to back to school to learn how to make a good app, or simply go back to the original version. Road conditions and cameras, that is what the end user wants. They don't want the bloated mess that this app has become.
