VDOT 511 Virginia Traffic Reviews

by Goalieart

Was a great app, but now VDOT511VirginiaTraffic will not stay open. Closes itself out EVERY time I try to use it. Needs to be fixed. I have closed out VDOT511VirginiaTraffic , restarted my phone and even deleted VDOT511VirginiaTraffic and reinstalled it, still doesn’t work.

App is still NOT working outdoors where there is no WiFi . I get home from work, VDOT511VirginiaTraffic opens as usual . Outdoors away from WiFi VDOT511VirginiaTraffic still crashes at the open, top crash .
I work at the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel on
I-64 and on WiFi I still cannot view the public VDOT -511 traffic cams will not load, however other traffic cams around SE Virginia and state wide load and display properly . Why are the I-64 HRBT cameras not displaying ?
But then while I am away from any good WiFi all I get is Top Crashes on my IPhone 8Plus !

VDOT511VirginiaTraffic does NOT top crash now.
Best app on my IPhone as long as it functions properly and as a VDOT Employee I rely on VDOT 511 app to function properly . This moment , this morning... VDOT511VirginiaTraffic is a perfect 10 ! Thank you to whom ever fixed it !

Saturday Morning, February 22,2020
Honestly had several hours where VDOT511VirginiaTraffic worked for me just fine, now early Saturday morning it’s gone back to “TOP CRASHES “... who ever had fixed the problem, now they removed the “fix” , why the heck ???

March 15,2020
Specific Camera NOT showing on the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel Facility...North Island,Mile Marker 269.2/HRBT/North Island Tower NOT SHOWING,just a grey screen , Why ? All other HRBT cameras are turned on, why is this one different ? This camera has NOT been showing since February 01,2020 ...that’s 6 whole weeks. Get VDOT /HRBT to turn this last remaining camera ON !!!!!!

VDOT511VirginiaTraffic no longer works. It just closes.

by Too Dumb Not To Listen

When it works it’s great! But every time I’ve used it lately it crashes immediately. Time for an app fix.

Worthless waste of space. Roadwork for 20 miles. Exits closed causing a detour back to point of origin. Had to start over on backroads. Layers set correctly but app gives an all clear.

Crashes immediately when starting on both iPhone and iPad using OS 15.4.1. Restarting phone & iPad doesn’t fix it.

For some reason can’t submit problem report using normal process.

While the application is not functionally bad, it needs more work. For example it needs user preferences and account information including cams to be loaded from user web account and notification settings. Audio needed to be set to have silence option in the setup. User should be able to set Route preferences Add more routes to tweet and travel time including to DC.

Some cameras don't have the correct exit number. It would be nice to be able to copy incident information. This could be helpful in court where you can submit this information for a proof of congestion, or for any other reason. Also it would nice to be able to see exit number on the map.

MMS Notification comes from new ID every time, it would be nice if the all come from same ID, so the can be grouped together, instead of flooding the MMS with a newer folder every time you receive a notify. Also if the MMS could include the incident hyperlink where a user can click and lunch app with incident on focus.

Female text to speech engine is horrible and needed a better voice.

Being said, I am only saying all the above, because VDOT511VirginiaTraffic can make Virginian life much better. However don't be discouraged by my comments, I only said so, because I saw the many potentials VDOT511VirginiaTraffic had. VDOT511VirginiaTraffic still puts many other traffic applications to shame.

I was able to get into VDOT511VirginiaTraffic about 30 minutes ago with no problem. For some reason, now when I try to see what’s going on with the traffic, it opens for a few seconds and then closes on its own. I removed and reinstalled VDOT511VirginiaTraffic and it’s still crashing... it’s a little frustrating...

It is unclear to me why the Virginia DOT is spending our tax dollars creating and publishing their own specific app. Stupid strategy. The Google maps and traffic they are using I can get right on my Samsung phone, why do we need this additional app? Just seems like a big waste of tax (millions probably) $$$. Our state gov at work, as usual.

App used to work good but now crashes before it will completely open. iPhone version.

by Harryw2434

It would be nice if VDOT511VirginiaTraffic would allow background audio to continue playing when looking at the traffic cameras. It doesn’t really make sense as the traffic cameras do not feature any audio. Therefore music, podcast, audiobook, etc should be allowed to continue playing uninterrupted. Additionally on some of the cameras it can hard to figure out the direction of travel the camera is facing. Thank you.

Cannot open 95 camera section on app. Tried everything including deleting and reinstalling

I enjoy using VDOT511VirginiaTraffic. One recommendation to Trip Notifications...is it possible to add a date feature and not just days of the week? What if you only go to a location monthly or bi-weekly or just once? How VDOT511VirginiaTraffic is set up now, you will be notified weekly until you remove the notification.

Thank you VDOT! So far VDOT511VirginiaTraffic is more reliable and informative than competing apps for VA traffic. Live cam access is a godsend...landscape would be worthy of 5 stars. HOV lane status, road sign read outs...all very helpful in planning my 50 mile daily commute! Running on 3GS w/ iOS 5.x works but little sluggish. Hope to see growing use of this functional app as well as further improvements and tweaks!

I love VDOT511VirginiaTraffic. Precipitation map shows up in all states.

by Pepperw2

Never Mind. They are back

Was a good App. Cameras have been removed so now it serves no purpose.

by No Remote

I remember before the update when the cameras would load.

The issue has been addressed. Cameras are functional again.

by NoVATraveler

Great app for viewing Virginia traffic live cams & checking road conditions—free, just like on their website. What’s not to like? :)

by Hgshelby

I think that VDOT511VirginiaTraffic is extremely useful and has access to all the traffic cameras with most of the time, a good picture.
VDOT511VirginiaTraffic is vary well built and a lot of time has been put into it by the busy VDOT. The map concept is well displayed. I just wish other states put as much effort into travel info as the VDOT has!

I can't believe I'm saying this about an app that was designed by any government entity, but this may be one of the best apps I've ever downloaded – definitely the most useful.

It is very intuitive and user-friendly and tells you everything you need to know when traveling in Virginia – at least the Hampton Roads area.

The video camera feature gives you such good information, that I will never get rid of VDOT511VirginiaTraffic. Good job VDOT!

by LilacBloom

The design isn't too bad. It doesn't seem to be interactive but it does provide the information. However, it provides the data, say for example about road issues during winter storms, in text/paragraph format so you have to sift through each entry for the roads you are looking for. But most lines of text are overwritten with other lines of text. So it's unreadable. :(

On the other hand, you can tap to access traffic cams and see the conditions on 95 or other major roads for yourself. That's a nice feature for the big routes.
