What are some Helpful Tips for using 511?

0

When you dial 511 there’s no need to wait for the 511 Interactive Voice Response System (IVR) to prompt you. If you know what highway information you want, simply name the highway. For those highways with unique names like “Dolphin Expressway”, “State Road 60”, “Southern Boulevard”, or “University Drive”, thre is no need to add a county name. As soon as the 511 phone conncection is made, even during the 511 system’s welcoming speach – “You’ve reached the SunGuide Traffic and Public Transit Travel Information Service for South Florida, brought to you by the Florida Department of Transportation, and the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority” – you can simply name the highway or road for which you want information. The same information can still be found at the website www.511southflorida.com where you can create a specific route and view traffic incidents that may affect the route, view traffic from live cameras, and set up your own custom traffic alerts.
