PennDOT Videos Available on 511PA [Manufacturing Close - Up](Manufacturing Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) PennDOT reported that streaming video from its more than 700 traffic cameras is now available on 511PA. According to a release from the company, PennDOT recently upgraded its 511PA website and mobile application to allow for the continuously streaming footage. Previously, the site and mobile application were limited to providing real-time conditions using still images that were refreshed every five seconds. "Our 511 system puts travel information at drivers' fingertips and helps them make travel decisions before and during their trip," PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch said. "The new streaming video shows real-time traffic flow to help give motorists an even better idea of what to expect on our roadways." The streaming video is the latest improvement to the 511PA service. In May, PennDOT reported a 511PA smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices that provides hands-free and eyes-free travel alerts for the nearly 40,000 miles of road that PennDOT maintains as well as the Pennsylvania Turnpike and select New Jersey and West Virginia roadways. Application users can also view the streaming video, travel alerts and more before they travel.
