As the holiday season approaches, more than 119 million Americans are expected to hit the road for celebrations. In Wisconsin, the Department of Transportation is reminding travelers to use their 511 app and website to plan a safe trip. With 500 cameras across the state, the 511 map allows real-time tracking of road conditions, including live cameras showing backups and snow-covered roads. Colors on the map indicate road conditions, with green for normal, blue for partially covered, pink for fully covered, and black signaling travel not advised. This information is gathered from various sources, including field reports, counties, and law enforcement. This technology aims to make holiday travel smoother and safer for everyone. The 511 app is available for download in app stores, providing essential information for travelers during winter storms and holiday travel. Stay informed and stay safe this holiday season with WisDOT technology.
