Visit PennDOT Website Before You Hit the Road for the Holidays

Pennsylvania’s 511PA system, which provides free travel information including construction alerts and real-time traffic cameras, reached a milestone of 2 million total website visits this summer.

The website is a good resource to check before you hit the road for the holidays.

The 511PA system is accessible 24-hours-per-day, seven days a week at
www.511PA.com or by calling 5-1-1.

The 511PA telephone system has received more than 1 million calls and more
than 15,000 people have signed up for personalized text or email alerts.

Launched in 2009, the 511PA service provides travel information such as
active and planned construction, incident alerts and weather alerts for more than 2,900 miles of Pennsylvania highways. Average traffic speeds are also
available for several interstates and other major roadways in urban areas.

PennDOT asks motorists to not call 511PA while driving. Motorists should safely pull off the road before calling, or do so before leaving home.
