01 What is 511

The national number for road conditions

511 is the phone number for traffic and traveler information in the United States. The Federal Communications Commission set it aside in 2000 so each state could run one number for road conditions. Today most state Departments of Transportation run a 511 phone line, a website, and an app. You check it for closures, crashes, construction, winter road conditions, and traffic camera views before and during a trip.

Branding differs by state. Some keep the plain "511" name. Others run a branded site: California has Caltrans QuickMap, Ohio has OHGO, Colorado has COtrip, Florida has FL511, and Pennsylvania has 511PA. The table below links the official site for every state. For a longer walkthrough, read 511 systems explained.

02 How it works

Three ways to check 511

Phone. Dial 5-1-1 from a mobile or landline inside the state. The call is free. A growing group of states, including Washington, Kentucky, and Texas, has retired the phone line and now points you to a website or app instead. The table below flags which states are phone or web only.

Web. Each state DOT publishes a live map of incidents, construction, and road conditions. Those are the official links in the table below.

App. Most states also offer a mobile app with the same data and push alerts.

What you get is closures, crashes, construction zones, winter driving conditions, traffic speeds, and traffic cameras. Mountain states add chain-control and pass status. Check the chain law guide before you cross a pass in winter.

511 Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 511 number?
511 is the free national number for road and traffic information in the United States. Dial 5-1-1 from a mobile or landline to hear conditions reported by your state Department of Transportation. The Federal Communications Commission reserved the number for traveler information in 2000.
Is calling 511 free?
Yes. Calls to 511 are free from most carriers, and every state 511 website and app is free to use.
Does every state have a 511 phone line?
Most states still answer 511 by phone. Some have retired the phone line and kept the website and app instead. Washington shut down its 511 line in 2023, Kentucky replaced its line with the GoKY website, and Rhode Island turned its 511 number into a pothole hotline in 2025. The table above flags which states are phone or web only.
Can I dial 511 from another state?
Dialing 5-1-1 reaches the system for the state you are calling from. To check a state before you get there, open that state's 511 website, linked in the table above. Many states also publish a toll-free number for out-of-state callers.
What information does 511 provide?
Closures, crashes, construction, winter road conditions, traffic speeds, and traffic cameras. Mountain states add chain-control and pass status. See our chain law guide for state rules.
How is this page different from a state 511 site?
A state 511 system covers one state. Trucker Route pulls live feeds from more than 40 state systems onto one map, so you can check a multi-state route without opening a separate site for each state. Open any state above for its live incidents, or the live map for your whole route.
