How do I get Real time traffic and weather information in the State of Washington?
Real time traffic and weather information is now available by simply dialing 5-1-1 in Washington State from some phones. Puget Sound traffic conditions, statewide construction and incident information and mountain pass conditions are updated every few minutes. 5-1-1 also connects callers directly to the state’s ferry system and provides 800 numbers for passenger rail and airlines. For now WSDOT’s 1-800 traffic and mountain pass number will remain operational, once all all major land line companies have activated the new 511 voice recognition system then this number will be discontinued.
