Besides it being the only dot/511 app that has an ad, it requires you to create an account or log in as a guest. It offers no snow plow tracking, no chain up requirements at which mile makers and it doesn’t show snow conditions on the road. Absolutely useless app for truckers and motorists. The weather radar is a nice touch. This app has a lot of work to do before it be comes something that truckers and motorists can rely on, let alone use.
Great app for planning my daily commute and getting updates when traffic is out of control. I really like that it has future special events and construction.
App is useless. Wish I could use it but every time I attempt to put in my source/destination (Phoenix to Munds park) it just sits there in the “loading” mode and never brings back results. Great to know our taxpayer dollars pay for this crappy app experience. I’ll try again next month, maybe it will work then?
I’ve tried to reinstall and install this app multiple times. I haven’t been able to get past splash loading with a progress bar which never reaches 100%. Clicking on app support takes you to an ADOT where a request may be logged which is what I did.
The information is completely inadequate especially for the mountains in the winter. AZ isn’t just Phoenix. This is 100 times better than a few years ago but AZ you have a long way to go. Look at WY, UT, CA. These are examples of adequate apps. Maybe take a lot of tips from them.
What’s with the traffic cameras on the AZ511 app? Many of the cameras, particularly the ones out of the Phoenix area are inoperable, pointed the wrong way, or are not showing current photos. The rural cameras could be very helpful if maintained properly.
App doesn’t update information in a timely manner. Example....101 closed at 10pm tonight for construction and it’s 11:07 and still says it’s open. Couple months ago I checked app to see if I17 was clear up north. It showed open but a fire had closed it 2 hours earlier. The Waze app updates faster.
The Arizona fires have closed roads and yet this app is taking me on a route that is closed. The Camp Verde 260 exit on the I17 has been closed for several days and yet that’s the route this app is taking me.
The AZ551.gov website clearly illustrates the entire section of road closures. The app however just shows the POINT of the closure. Unless you zoom in and separate grouped notifications to find the POINT of the closure it’s impossible to determine if a section of roadway is open or closed. Literally the most helpful potential of the app, missed.
AZ511 works in conjunction with the Arizona Department of Transportation's AZ511.gov, the Arizona Traveler Information website, to provide the latest information on conditions along the state highway system. Users will receive information on delays, crashes, construction and closures, as well as alternate routes to help drivers avoid backups. Motorists may view ADOT’s statewide network of cameras on the app. Drivers can get real-time information on their routes by entering their destinations into the app. Travelers may also save regularly used routes and receive alerts along those routes. The app includes these features: • Traffic cameras • Real-time updates on highway incidents and delays • Personalized routes • Travel times • Alternate routes • Drive mode • Speed map Reminders: It is not safe to use your phone while driving. Please enter drive mode for audio alerts while on the road. Suggested alternate routes shown on az511.gov are generated automatically by a third party and can include local roads. For official ADOT alternate routes, which in most cases will involve state highways, please consult ADOT’s Twitter account at twitter.com/ArizonaDOT and the information provided by the free ADOT Alerts app at ADOTAlerts.com. COMMERCIAL VEHICLE DRIVERS: Large trucks are prohibited on State Route 89A between Flagstaff and Sedona, State Route 89A between Clarkdale and Prescott Valley, and State Route 89 between Prescott and US 93 northwest of Wickenburg.
