What’s the Point

What’s the point in downloading this app if CalTrans doesn’t bother to enter closures IN it.

Check their map and there was construction noted but NO notice of off-ramp closure. Had to take a multi-mile detour to get around a problem they NEVER posted.

Very useful app but …

We use this app all the time when we’re on the road or preparing for a drive. However, we found the previous version easier to use. Specifically, we when scanning a route, we focus on the collision incidents and read the reports to determine the magnitude. In the current version, the icons for the traffic cameras have become so large that they obscure other icons unless you zoom way in. And zoomed way in, it is tedious to scan the entire route. We think it was better before.

App will not stay open

Since last update, unable to use

Used a be great

No traffic and having to zoom in so much just to see anything is kind of a pain

Good app, bad interface

App is great at helping g navigate roads, seeing where slow downs, accidents, and road work is being done. But, they’ve recently “updated” the interface which makes it harder to use. The older interface had unique and colorful icons to show road work, accidents, etc. The newer interface uses icons that are all the same color, so harder to see what is what. Wish they would revert back.

Bad update

New update is not user friendly and as you open the collapsed icons it heats the phone up . Older version was better this update makes app unusable due to heat of phone

It was good until it updated

Trying to look up information for traffic incidents and the app would randomly close. It really needs to be updated and fixed. It gets super annoying after a while.

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???

Daily User

The traffic layer is very useful. Lots of useful information. I use it daily.

2026May, broken traffic layer

Unable to show traffic layer

They refuse to update

Loved and used this app regularly until their latest update 2 weeks ago that won’t allow us to look at traffic as well. It keeps saying they are working on it but they are not! It is annoying and super lame

Fix the traffic overlay!

It has been two weeks! C'mon Caltrans, do better!

was a great map now not so good, to much eye candy

traffic doesn't work, want a quick look at what's going on and you have to zoom and lose your point of reference to see info, then click on the pin to find three or four items listed, then click again on another pin to to get the info. makes it a pain to use. Just went by an fatality accident 45 min ago still not listed on the map under chp. to many clicks to get any thing done. go back to the old code.

App no longer works

Do NOT UPDATE! The last update broke this app has not worked in a week. Cannot monitor traffic on the app at this time.
Caltrans needs to hire some software engineers or something this is ridiculous.

Fix the traffic layer!!!

App is completely useless without this feature!!

It’s gone from OK to useless

For unknown reasons they have removed the traffic layer from the latest version…
