California 511 Road Conditions Reviews

I have been using Cali since it first came out a few years ago and still use it to manage my commute between SoCal and the Central Coast. It has been an absolute godsend! Cali isn’t designed to be overly intelligent, but it does an amazing job of aggregating data from many different sources. Keep in mind, the data is only as reliable as the source it’s pulling from. Fortunately, the jurisdictions I travel through seem to keep their data updated in a timely manner.

Cali is a great replacement for the base caltrans app which is clunky and very difficult to use. before I had to use cal trans because it was the only easy way to get the data without going to the website but now Cali blows it away. The camera groupings is an especially nice touch to reduce clutter. Only improvement would be to add the green/yellow/red traffic speed lines right on the map.

Wow, an app that actually helps me instantly see road conditions, along with camera views of the freeways, all in an easy to use interface. Thank you for a great app, I will be using it daily for my commute to LA. Bravo!

Seems like Cali could use a bit of updating. For example, subscribing to alerts takes too long and a lot of the time it doesn't even subscribe (app freezes). Also, everytime you open Cali it resets the view. It would be better if the view was zoomed into where it was last location. Finally, it would be great to be able to set up notifications to come up along your commute (I would pay for this feature).

Love the camera feature. The map is great with all the various alerts arr excellent. Only thing I found was a legend (but figured it out eventually).

Honestly amazing. Very full feature and easy to navigate. As an avid winter camper in the Sierras I’ve been looking for something like this for years. Very well done - thank you!

The handy cameras allow us to see real time road conditions going through the passes through Sierra Nevada - snow in winter and fires in summer. Plus it lists all hazards accidents etc. Very good app

Awesome plat form and effort! You can tell all the bases and information avenues here for traffic and commuting are covered. I actually can’t wait to try on a regular city day to see if it’s helpful.

Cali makes it so easy to check all the road conditions before and as you head up to ski. I love it so much.

Finally an app comes out that is better than Caltrans and the other paid CHP app. Works well. The CHP CAD site is too difficult to navigate while on the road this is the best version

Have been coming to Tahoe often recently and Cali has been perfect for checking the road conditions and planning.

Works great and as intended.

You can add traffic cams, it tells you drive times, and events. Useful app for a Bay Area inhabitant.

I live in mammoth and work at june. Every time I’ve checked the road conditions, they’ve been updated the day before or more. For example. I just looked at the 395 and when I tapped it, it said updated 12/22. What good does that do me?!

It’s a lot more interactive and streamlined than the caltrans quickmaps app, with the same information. Great app!

Done

This will be my go to app for Caltrain info.

Nice app, will come in handy during the storms at Bear.

Very easy to use
I like it

Cali is not user friendly and is not half of what it claims to be.

Cali only works for California, doesn’t help me in Florida or any other state.
