Doesn’t open

Occasionally when trying to use the app, it flashes on the screen, then quits. Very helpful—when it works, useless when it doesn’t.

Does not show extended traffic control

There are 2 major construction projects, one on 299 East and one on 89 up by McCloud, neither are shown on this app. Both projects have 30+ minute delays in both directions.

Best traffic app

Love this app, never fails to give me info, many time well before my scanner, but when I hear something on the scanner, sure enough it’s here with way more detail. Keep in mind this is targeted for California, some of the reviews criticizing are out of state, not fair to ratings. Keep up the great work!

Worthless app

Pathetic. I wouldn’t pay one cent for this.

FAQ

What does the California 511 Road Conditions app do?

This app provides real-time information on California road conditions, including live CCTV camera feeds from Caltrans and incident alerts from the California Highway Patrol (CHP). You can view traffic, check for closures, and receive notifications about various types of incidents.

What are the key features of this app?

Key features include live streaming of CCTV traffic cameras, the ability to create customized camera groups, push notifications for CHP incidents, detailed information on various incident types, Caltrans QuickMap road condition data, and home screen widgets for quick access to traffic information.

Is this app free to use?

The app is free to download and use, but it does offer in-app purchases. These purchases may enhance the user experience or unlock additional features, though the core functionality for viewing road conditions and incidents is available without them.

What kind of incidents can I be notified about?

You can receive push notifications for a wide range of California Highway Patrol (CHP) incidents, including traffic collisions, advisories, hazards, weather and wind advisories, wrong-way drivers, road closures, chain control requirements, animal hazards, and fires. Notifications are also sent when an incident is no longer being tracked.

Can I see traffic cameras without opening the app?

Yes, the app supports home screen widgets, allowing you to add up to four traffic camera widgets directly to your device's home screen. This enables you to stay updated with the latest traffic and road conditions at a glance without needing to launch the full application.
