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

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.

Not user friendly for out-of-state drivers who are transiting through, or need to visit the state sporadically. The use of drop down menus to select a traffic camera is cumbersome and time consuming; not useful when you don't know the name of the towns or the nomenclature of the roads along the route. Recommed you use examples such as the Virginia 511 app; selection begins with overall map, zomm in, and click on camera symbol. Apo is not a time saver.

I just installed this app to CK it out. I'm finding in the camera section. I go to Lehigh valley route 78 Morgan Hill cam, I try the full image it will not work. When I try to click on another cam like route 33 it will not open. I have to back all the way out to main menu & go back in. I will check more of it out. But so for not a fan.
