The Florida Department of Transportation’s toll-free traffic service, 511 Traveler Information System, is designed to keep people and goods moving safely through Florida. The service provides traffic information to drivers.
There are four ways for professional drivers to receive traffic updates:
- Call 511 toll free for updates in English and Spanish.
- Visit FL511.com, with interactive roadway maps showing traffic congestion, travel times and crashes.
- Download the free Florida 511 app on iTunes or Google Play.
- Follow one of the 12 statewide, regional or roadway-specific feeds on Twitter.
For professional drivers heading out of state, users can transfer to neighboring 511 systems in Georgia and Louisiana to find out if traffic backups lie ahead.
