California 511 Road Conditions Customer Service

I love this app and it will come in a lot of handy for my road trips. My first suggestion would be to add a toggle switch to turn closed road lines on or off. Currently, the only way to see which stretch of a road is closed is to zoom really far in, until a line appears over the road. I would love to see these stretches of closed roads when zoomed further out, like the whole state, to easily see what is closed. I would also make it red. It would also be awesome, for those who allow location services, to receive alerts for roads that just closed near you. So, one could set a radius of say 10, 25, 50, and 100 miles for when new road closures go into effect. This would be especially helpful because sometimes when driving to/through a snowy destination, the roads can close quickly. Assuming this app pulls info from CalTrans servers relatively fast, it would be awesome to get almost real time alerts if a road near you just closed, as it may be blocking your intended route.

I have been using this app since it first came out a few years ago and still use it to manage my commute between SoCal and the Central Coast. It has been an absolute godsend! The app isn’t designed to be overly intelligent, but it does an amazing job of aggregating data from many different sources. Keep in mind, the data is only as reliable as the source it’s pulling from. Fortunately, the jurisdictions I travel through seem to keep their data updated in a timely manner.

This app is a great replacement for the base caltrans app which is clunky and very difficult to use. before I had to use cal trans because it was the only easy way to get the data without going to the website but now this app blows it away. The camera groupings is an especially nice touch to reduce clutter. Only improvement would be to add the green/yellow/red traffic speed lines right on the map.

This app is a must for anyone that deals with traffic. I don’t normally write reviews, but this has been a life saver many times. It’s a great way to see what’s causing the actual issue so you can determine yourself whether or not to chance it or take another direction.

Love this app, never fails to give me info, many time well before my scanner, but when I hear something on the scanner, sure enough it’s here with way more detail. Keep in mind this is targeted for California, some of the reviews criticizing are out of state, not fair to ratings. Keep up the great work!

Wow, an app that actually helps me instantly see road conditions, along with camera views of the freeways, all in an easy to use interface. Thank you for a great app, I will be using it daily for my commute to LA. Bravo!

Honestly amazing. Very full feature and easy to navigate. As an avid winter camper in the Sierras I’ve been looking for something like this for years. Very well done - thank you!

Love the camera feature. The map is great with all the various alerts arr excellent. Only thing I found was a legend (but figured it out eventually).

Easy to see road conditions before driving

Awesome plat form and effort! You can tell all the bases and information avenues here for traffic and commuting are covered. I actually can’t wait to try on a regular city day to see if it’s helpful.

Finally an app comes out that is better than Caltrans and the other paid CHP app. Works well. The CHP CAD site is too difficult to navigate while on the road this is the best version

This app makes it so easy to check all the road conditions before and as you head up to ski. I love it so much.

Have been coming to Tahoe often recently and this app has been perfect for checking the road conditions and planning.

Works great and as intended. You can add traffic cams, it tells you drive times, and events. Useful app for a Bay Area inhabitant.

A very needed useful app! Still some issues with accessing roadside cameras resulting in immediate crash when selecting the Camera page.

It’s a lot more interactive and streamlined than the caltrans quickmaps app, with the same information. Great app!

It’s not working

Done

Very informative and helpful

This will be my go to app for Caltrain info.

Nice app, will come in handy during the storms at Bear.

Very easy to use I like it

Seems like this app could use a bit of updating. For example, subscribing to alerts takes too long and a lot of the time it doesn't even subscribe (app freezes). Also, everytime you open the app it resets the view. It would be better if the view was zoomed into where it was last location. Finally, it would be great to be able to set up notifications to come up along your commute (I would pay for this feature).

There are 2 major construction projects, one on 299 East and one on 89 up by McCloud, neither are shown on this app. Both projects have 30+ minute delays in both directions.

I live in mammoth and work at june. Every time I’ve checked the road conditions, they’ve been updated the day before or more. For example. I just looked at the 395 and when I tapped it, it said updated 12/22. What good does that do me?!

I need timely reports on Hwy 166 between Bakersfield, Ca and Santa Maria, Ca. Luckily I found out from the news that they had landslides before travel because it wasn’t showing on the app.

Doesn’t go out of LA area?

This app is not user friendly and is not half of what it claims to be.

This app only works for California, doesn’t help me in Florida or any other state.

Pathetic. I wouldn’t pay one cent for this.

No, see cameras

Deleted immediately

Ended up deleting the app 2/15/24 After the update that was released, they wanted you to pay for a subscription to use The camera section when it was free at the beginning.
