Arizona Traveler Information System (AZ511)

Hey neighbor! We want to share some helpful tips about our AZ511 app with you on National Good Neighbor Day.

National App Day is Dec. 11 and ADOT has a few apps that are free to download and worth celebrating everyday.

ADOT was honored when its AZ 511 Traveler Information System was given top honors in a recent awards ceremony, but it was all to benefit you, the motorist! 

AZ 511 cameras are vital tools for ADOT engineers, technicians, road crews, dispatchers, public information officers and many more personnel. But, they are also lovely ways to see pieces of the state you might not otherwise visit!

How are you supposed to know when an event like the Telegraph fire closes a highway? ADOT offers you a number of free-of-charge options.

PHOENIX – A new feature added to the Arizona Department of Transportation’s Traveler Information 511 website will help commercial vehicle drivers more easily plan their route through the state.

Our director shares his thoughts about what the addition of truck parking spaces to ADOT's Arizona Traveler Information 511 website means for commerical drivers.

The AZ511 Arizona Traveler Information website recently has added 21 new rural cameras to help you be better prepared when you hit the road.

I don’t know about you, but it takes a mighty strong incentive for me to change my habits. But after getting stuck in one too many traffic jams, I’ve found one: the AZ511 mobile app.

For me, the benefits of the AZ511 app offer a strong argument for incorporating it as a daily ritual.

I no longer leap ignorantly behind the wheel of my car. When it comes to navigating roadways, ignorance is not bliss. Nowadays, I click on the AZ511 app and plot the best route to my destination.

Forewarned is forearmed, they say.

If seeing is believing, then Phoenix-area motorists can now get behind the wheel more confident than ever of what to expect when it comes to traffic conditions.

That's because we have added 20 traffic cameras on either end of the Valley to the Arizona Traveler Information site at az511.gov, giving drivers an even better look at what's happening on three freeways.

In the East Valley, nine additional cameras are available along the Loop 202 Santan Freeway from US 60 to Higley Road, like the one at Ray Road that took the image at right.

It's time for that big family trip to the Grand Canyon. Everyone's ready, the car's packed and the destination entered into the GPS.

Only things left before hitting the open road are double-checking the traffic and the weather. And thanks to some help from the National Weather Service, you can do both with a quick stop at our Arizona Traveler Information site, az511.gov.

Something new, blue and helpful-to-you is popping up along Arizona highways, and it's just the beginning.

The Arizona Department of Transportation has installed the first four 511 business-sponsored signs as part its recently launched 511 Logo Signs initiative.

These signs bearing both 511 travel information and sponsor names are at Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway west of Priest Drive, Loop 202 Santan Freeway north of Williams Field Road, US 60 east of Stapley Road and State Route 64 in Tusayan.

This summer we are rolling out new highway signs to both promote the 511 phone line, attract business sponsorship and generate funds to maintain roads.

With warm weather returning, the Arizona Department of Transportation is resuming projects to repair and preserve the surfaces of state highways in Arizona’s high country.

Users of ADOT's Arizona Traveler Information site at az511.gov can create alerts corresponding to routes they have set up.

Whether your trip is across town or to the other end of the state, a free AZ 511 mobile app now available from the Arizona Department of Transportation helps you plan ahead and save time.

The new mobile-friendly AZ511.gov system that provides up-to-the-minute conditions along Arizona’s highways can also be tailor-made to suit your personal travel needs.

The new az511 website may be overwhelming at first. Here are some tips.

We've launched a redesigned az511 website and phone line to better give individual drivers the information they need for the routes they drive.
