511 Traffic Systems in West Virginia
ITS and 511: What Does It All Mean?
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) gather a vast amount of traffic-related information from across the country. ITS aims to help people safely and quickly get to where they're going by letting them know about construction, accidents, and road closures.
Of course, drivers need a way to access this information, and that's where 511 comes into play. This simple, three-digit number allows drivers across the nation access this traffic-related information.
