User reviews

Not overly happy about the changes

I liked it when the traffic was color coded so you could immediately see how heavy traffic was

Great App by Caltrans

Love the new features and updates. I really wish they keep improving it.

No traffic anymore

Since their rebrand, they haven’t been able to show traffic levels. Which is the only reason for the darn app… accident? What’s the traffic status then??? All other apps show traffic, how can this one not?

Live traffic disabled for weeks.

Live traffic has been disabled for weeks now. This app has become worthless.

Mobile app broken

Like the title says, the mobile app used to be a life saver but the new switch to the new style is broken. I loved the old version as it would save me time. This new version does not report traffic and that is the whole reason I use the app. My tablet version is the old version and it still works. Why???
