Page OverviewWhat Is 511?
America's Traveler Information Number, 511, allows you to access up-to-date road information from the convenience of your phone for South Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota. It tells you information like road conditions, closures, accidents, weather, and construction delays.
How 511 Works
When you dial 511 from any phone, you'll be given a menu of options based on region, city and exact route number. For example, if you're traveling west across South Dakota on Interstate 90 you can request specific information for Interstate 90, which will include road and weather conditions as well as construction delays and detours.
Constant updates keep 511 relevant.
Fees
511 was designed to be mostly free; it should cost no more than a local call.
511 on the Web
