511 Arizona 2.7

The AZ511 app is an essential tool for drivers travelling along Arizona's state highway system. Developed in conjunction with the Arizona Department of Transportation's AZ511.gov website, this app provides up-to-date information on road conditions, including delays, crashes, construction, and closures. With its easy-to-use interface, drivers can also access alternate routes to avoid traffic backups.

One of the standout features of the app is its integration with ADOT's network of traffic cameras, allowing users to view real-time footage of their selected routes. By entering their destinations into the app, drivers can receive personalized, real-time information on their routes, ensuring a smooth and efficient journey.

In addition to these features, the app offers a range of options to enhance the driving experience. Users can save their frequently-travelled routes and receive alerts specific to those routes. The app also provides travel times, helping motorists plan their trips accordingly.

Driving safety is of utmost importance, and AZ511 recognizes this. The app includes a drive mode feature, which provides audio alerts while on the road, ensuring that drivers can stay informed without compromising their safety.

It should be noted that while the app suggests alternate routes, generated automatically by a third party, for official ADOT alternate routes—often involving state highways—users are advised to consult ADOT's official sources such as their Twitter account at twitter.com/ArizonaDOT or the free ADOT Alerts app at ADOTAlerts.com.

For commercial vehicle drivers, it is important to be aware that large trucks are prohibited on State Route 89A between Flagstaff and Sedona, State Route 89A between Clarkdale and Prescott Valley, and State Route 89 between Prescott and US 93 northwest of Wickenburg.
