Decent 511 App

I never had any issues with this app from my experience. The app is most useful for viewing the VA live traffic cameras and looking at the road conditions. The only change I want from this app is for the map layout to improve in someways. I think the colors for the traffic speed overlay should be bolder and more fleshed out on the map. And the heavy traffic color should change to red instead of dark red, like the way it currently appears on the map. Overall a pretty decent 511 app.

Inaccurate Information

The app does not accurately show road conditions after a bad storm. Local news in Richmond is reporting numerous roads closed but app does not show road closures. Not worth downloading due to inaccuracy on VDOT’s part not updating information.
