Drive Texas, huh? I wonder where they got that idea?
Anyhow, TxDOT recently launched Drive Texas™ , a new online map application that provides travelers with real-time traffic conditions, traffic and weather feeds about the 80,000 miles of road maintained by the state.
An additional feature is that travelers can plot a course by entering their start and end cities to view highway conditions along their route, and they can also locate TxDOT safety rest areas or Texas travel information centers. Presently the tool doesn’t include mileage between the points, which would be a handy feature. Maybe this will be a future enhancement if enough people request it.
In select cities, travelers can also view images from traffic cameras, messages posted on dynamic message signs and other detailed information. The site also has a mobile-friendly component. (TxDOT adds this warning: Do not use this app while driving.)
