UDOT's Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) uses technology to save lives, time, and money.
It is a computer-controlled system designed to monitor and manage traffic flow on freeways and major surface streets. System components include CCTV cameras, electronic roadway signs, traffic speed and volume sensors, pavement sensors, and weather sensors.
This app has way more functionality than you'd expect, youcan check the camera of any location along the major highways for real time traffic reporting. Also has very precise weather reporting. Very surprised with how cool this app is.
Up-to-date road and weather conditions, webcams along all major roads, travel alerts... every state should have an app like this one!
UDOT's app is so useful for current and future road conditions. UDOT consistently provides the most accurate information on accidents and weather conditions. I used to try to figure out Spanish fork canyon weather through KSL or accuweather, but this is much simpler. I've also used it from my phone to help get around accidents.
It needs to update more frequently. Example: It currently says that Provo is dry and overcast... Well, it's not. I'd say this is a blizzard, with quite a bit of accumulation. It's been like this for our whole trip since we left Wyo. UDOT could take some lessons from Wyoming's Wyo info (WYODOT) website, which was incredibly accurate and current.
Curious as to why the travel advisories don't update more often. I missed out on work today waiting to see if a canyons driving conditions would improve. As I didn't want to get stuck or wreck. It hasn't updated in 8 hours, how is that helpful to anyone??
I have used this app since the beginning. It has evolved into a nice multi information source with weather, cameras, road reports, and more. My only ongoing complaint is both the website and this app can't handle large volumes of traffic when we need it most, like major storms or incidents. Fix that please.
Works good. It is especially helpful to see the road condition when heading out if the weather is bad. But it can be slow loading. If they would make it faster loading I would give it 5 stars.
