Florida 511 provides time-saving traffic info 

 

The Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) toll-free Florida 511 Traveler Information System provides traffic information on all of Florida’s interstates, toll roads and many other metropolitan roadways. Travelers can call 511 or visit FL511.com for information, including crashes, congestion, construction and emergency evacuation information in English and Spanish. FL511.com features the same traffic information as the phone call along with hundreds of traffic cameras.

 

In addition to the 511 phone call and website, Florida travelers can now learn about roadway conditions by downloading FDOT’s new 511 application for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The Florida 511 app features text and audio updates on congestion, incidents, construction, travel times and more. The free app gives traffic information based on GPS location, cities and regions and/or registered My Florida 511 routes. To download the app, search “Florida 511” on the iTunes store.

 

By registering for My Florida 511 personalized services at FL511.com, users can hear traffic updates and travel times on their custom routes first when calling 511. Additionally, users can register to receive traffic alerts on these routes via a phone call, e-mail and/or text message.  Travelers can customize their alerts by choosing the time of day, day of the week and type or severity of incidents. 

 

The 511 system is available from cell phones and landlines; however, standard cell phone minutes may apply.
