I apologize for our governments lack of concern.

This app is essentially useless. It gives no idea of what the detour code colors mean and if you actually follow them they lead you nowhere useful. My best suggestion would be to give it a quick glance and then totally avoid the entire area. If you’re unfamiliar with the area, I’m sorry. Whoever has come up with this map seems to have done so with what, unfortunately, is typical government agency lack of concern and/or common sense.

Please fix!

Ever since this last update a lot of cameras don’t load. It’s been about a month now and still isn’t fixed. No point in using this app if it doesn’t work anymore.

Overcrowded all

Very difficult to see road conditions which is the very reason that consumers obtain this app.

Start up

Today is my first day in the app, and so far I don’t like it!
There are no clear directions or instructions!

Cool App!

Those with the negative reviews don’t know how to use the app.
Go to the “Layers” in the bottom right corner and turn on Snowplows and Weather Stations and you can see the actual road conditions in real time.
Sweet!
