Iowa 511

Iowa 511 is the Iowa Department of Transportation's (DOT) official traffic and traveler information app. The Iowa 511 app provides statewide up-to-date traffic information for interstates, U.S. routes and state highways in Iowa. It does not include information for county roads or city streets. FEATURES:
• Hands-free, eyes-free audio notifications of traffic events while you drive
• A zoom-enabled map with selectable traffic event icons and surrounding camera views
• Near real-time updates on winter road conditions, traffic incidents, construction, and road closures
• Travel time delays associated with traffic reports (look for the orange glowing icons)
• Current traffic speeds
• Traffic camera images and streaming video
• Towing prohibited (tow ban) events for winter storms
• Citizen reports via Waze
• Electronic roadway sign messages
• Highway rest area locationsNOTE: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.The primary responsibility of every driver is the safe operation of their vehicle. While traveling, mobile communication devices should be used only when the motor vehicle is at a complete stop off the traveled portion of the roadway. Do not text and drive (it's against the law) or use this app while driving. We welcome your feedback on this app. Please send your suggestions, questions or concerns in an email to [email protected].

So much information in this it's hard to find it all. A ton of little things you can turn on, like traffic and plough cams. You can see for yourself what the roads look like besides the assessment the app gives. Very handy for Iowa winters.

Used this app on my old phone, but on my Pixel 3 the "toolbar" at the bottom is no longer showing. Loved the app before, but without being able to change options and layers the app is unusable.

Used to love this app but since the recent update the screen has been freezing and when it does work it is very jerky. Tried reinstalling but no improvement. Very frustrating.

Descriptions of the road are completely inaccurate. The bad sections are marked as good and the good sections are marked as bad. Completely worthless app in my opinion.

Very rarely has accurate road conditions even after they had just been updated. It'll say they are seasonal even when theres a sheet of ice on the road or its covered with snow and the plow cameras clearly show it.

Great for looking at road conditions ahead of travel

Trying to set up the preferred route for a daily commute is ridiculously maddening. It kept changing the route away from how I edited it. Not worth the aggravation.

Pretty good at updating but don't rely 100% on it. I've had a few times where it wasn't updated but those times were rare. However, I make all my teenage kids (who are now driving) download this app because it's a necessity.

Won't work with older versions of android anymore. Every needs to buy a new device! Works on new phone, but not older tablet.

I would give 5 if it wasn't for all the bug errors and crashes great app for looking at state and US highway and interstate road conditions but needs fixing very badly

My go-to app for road conditions in Iowa. Plow cams are extremely helpful in determining when it is safe to travel in rural parts of the state

Is there any way to get this app to show county roads and roads in a town? Instead of just highways and interstates?

Nat. M. Feb 17, 2022     

None of the cameras are working.

Button to launch videos is missing. As of 3/30 problem hasn't been resolved.

Good design, bad optimization. Crashes when looking at cams.

Trip building is impossible Keeps adding more starting points. Never would run trip.

Joe. B. Oct 16, 2021     

I wish they highlighted the road ways with colors to show road conditions along with cameras.

dju. H. Oct 31, 2019     

Easy to navigate and in real time conditions. Couldn't be happier.

Find out road conditions in the winter. This is very important if you commute to work.

iowa is a great state. one of the top 10 in the country. probably even in the top 5.

Tho. V. Feb 23, 2020     

Used it to see roads are like in winter, and road work. Because I'm a truck driver

Chu. W. Mar 17, 2019     

I go out of town alot and always checking for road conditions.

Hea. M. Feb 5, 2021     

This app makes bad weather a little better with knowing how the roads are..

Dav. W. Apr 26, 2022     

Helpful info. Thanks!

Kri. O. Jan 26, 2019     

living in NW iowa, the app is useless if it won't cross state lines... most trips involve Minn/SD or Nebraska as well
