Virginia traffic cameras, travel times, road conditions, incidents, and more.


The Virginia 511 mobile application combines official information from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), driving and transit directions from Google, navigation with Waze, and other sources of information to provide a dynamic one-stop-shop for traveler information needs across Virginia. Open the app, search for any location in the search bar, and see travel times for driving and/or transit options to that location provided by Google. Tap on an option to see detailed driving or transit directions, then tap on the Waze button to open the Waze App for navigation to your destination (installation of Waze app is required to use this feature). Access to VDOT cameras, incident reports, construction, bridge openings, and more is provided on the map by toggle option from the overlays menu in the upper right. Tap the pencil in this menu to re-order the Map Layers in the menu as you desire. The main menu in the upper left provides access to Twitter feeds, cameras by route, travel times for predefined road segments, links to other commuter services for your area, and more. Settings can be accessed at the bottom of the main menu, and includes an option to sign up for trip notifications. Trip notifications allow you to define a recurring trip and desired arrival time, and receive a push notification in advance of the necessary departure time based upon the current traffic each day. Please note that traffic conditions can change rapidly, and travel and arrival times are a best estimate, but can never be a guarantee. Additional information available in Northern Virginia includes VRE rail and PRTC bus schedules and routes, along with real-time VRE train locations. A unique feature provides a limited ability to see drive-to-transit options for these services when the “Nearby Transit Options” is selected from certain directions results. These services will be expanded in the future to include more agencies statewide. Other features in the app will also continue to be enhanced over time.Resolved issue with reordering the Charging Station layers

By far, the best traffic app in the nation. Too bad it's gone downhill. Often, alerts reporting disabled vehicles or crashes are way outdated or just flat wrong, and often do not show actual incidents that DO exist. Expect little to no support through their app... they're more responsive on Twitter.

Amazing app. Wow.

Daniel McLaughlin

Crazy to see live camera of snow Strom's as it moves.

App has suddenly become a buggy mess. Plus, there is a non-clearable persistent notification that basically just says "open this app for traffic information". When you click it, it does nothing but crash the app. I'm uninstalling this app.

Please fix the rouge push notification.

David Shindle

A push notification popped up on my notification bar and won't clear or go away. The only solution is to uninstall and reinstall. Really annoying with limited screen space.

Branan Roughgarden

Its a great app. Easy to use.

Pat Kilchrist

Love it. I work for fedex and it helps me get around

Andrew Alvarez

Half the time they aren't posting about accidents and about 99% of the time if there is a camera near by it doesn't work. Why have traffic cams if you won't leave them on so people can see if it's cleared up?

Thank you Iteris Inc for the fixes. I detected some added features I've not learned before. It appears to be working fine. I will find out more by next week. I will update my review accordingly.
