Road and Highway Emergency Numbers

America's Traveler Information Telephone Number

Dial 511 for current road conditions & construction/closure information, weather and traffic updates.

Not all of the United States states currently have working 511 systems statewide or in some cities/areas. Almost all states have received funding to set up 511 systems. 511 is a simple, easy-to-remember telephone number that connects citizens with information from the Department of Transportation. Call 511 the next time you need to find out about traffic, road construction, or issues with mass transit. You may need to consult your phone provider to see if it is available.

Visit the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (NHWA) "511" webpage for a state-by-state map/listing of 511 systems. View 511 Service Locations.

Also Visit FHWA's National Traffic and Road Closure Information website.
