511SD- Call before you drive!

You could say we have been lucky with the weather conditions this winter has brought so far. For any upcoming winter weather concerns, make sure you are checking the road conditions before embarking on your journey. Download the mobile app to check road conditions near you! Or dial 511.

The South Dakota 511 mobile application provides real-time access to traffic and traveler information supplied by the South Dakota Department of Transportation (South Dakota DOT). Maps depict current traffic conditions, as well as incident and construction events that can impact traffic on all Interstate, U.S., and State Routes. Alert, and weather information is also available.

The map indicates the location of roadside cameras, which allow users to view current traffic conditions. As users move through the highway network, the app can keep track of their location on the map. South Dakota DOT’s Twitter feeds are also accessible and provide information impacting traffic across the state’s regions.

SDDOT has long-offered free information on road and weather conditions, road closures, construction work zones, and more. SDDOT’s SD511.org replaces the SafeTravelUSA website, providing an improved appearance and new features.

Safe Travels!
