About this app

The 511PA app provides near real-time highway and traffic information to drivers to help them safely plan their route. This includes information on roadwork, incidents, road closures, and weather alerts on roads across the state.

This app features a scrollable, zoomable map that displays:
• Traffic speeds
• Road Conditions
• Weather Restrictions
• Updated PennDOT snowplow locations (Track My Plow)
• Incidents and closures, such as collisions and other road hazards
• Cameras
• Roadwork
• Message Signs
• PennDOT Bridges
• PA Turnpike Information
• And many other info layers!

The app also features audio alerts that notify drivers of all the types of events listed above and more! Drivers can customize their alert experience and configure the app to their preferences, including being able to only receive alerts that apply to their chosen route.

Ratings and reviews

This "new" app is terrible, it now opens to the map and not a landing page like it was so you could choose what you wanted to see. Now you must go through several menus to open a web page to get to the traffic cameras and the filters for that don't seem to work correctly. The way it was made the app easier to use and much quicker to look for the information you want. This is terrible.

App is still worthless kn my Samsung s10. The streaming video is not centered correctly in the pittle window. Pinching to zoom zooms map out completely. I have resorted to going to the website since that works fine. Had issues with this app on my old phone. They eventually got around to making the app good. Then I get a new phone, the Moto Z Force, and the app does nothing but crash. It is completely unusable. I keep sending feedback from within the app, but there has been no resolution yet.

Since the latest update, this app is complete garbage. The old app will let you customize what warnings you heard, what direction you're heading, only alerts in that direction. It was also very easy to find traffic cameras. All that has been taken away in this update. I'd love to get the old version back. I noticed that it's near unanimous one star reviews since the update. That should tell you all something.
