This app features a scrollable, zoomable map that displays:

• Incidents and closures, such as collisions and other road hazards
• Cameras
• Roadwork
• Message Signs
• PennDOT Bridges
• PA Turnpike Information

The app also features audio alerts that notify drivers of all the types of events listed above and more! Drivers can customize their alert experience and configure the app to their preferences, including being able to only receive alerts that apply to their chosen route.

Ratings and Reviews
I do not like the new version
The previous version had everything I needed at my fingertips. If I wanted to use GPS, I would still use my previous map apps. I really liked having the camera or in the old version. And heaven‘s name would I need to go online to go look at it and it’s not even saved!
Version 3.1 - ehhhh
I preferred version 3.0.
3.1 is too busy with all the circled numbers.
What I dislike the most is trying to see the speeds on the roads. The colors are not bold or wide enough like in 3.0. When zooming in, they’re still not wide enough, then eventually zooming in too much makes all the road speed colors go away. This is one of the most important parts of this app and now it’s really lacking in that department.
I do like having the camera icons right there on the map (if enabled) but half the time they do not have streaming video, just a non-responsive picture.
Currently using an iPhone 11 ProMax with ios 17.5.1.
Does not respect location setting
This app will monitor your location even if you have it set to only use location services while using the app.
I discovered this because my battery was draining quickly after installing the app.
I have an iPhone 15. The Dynamic Island shows the app’s icon even when not using the app.
The developer doesn’t allow you to use the app without location services enabled- which should not be the case. The app doesn’t need to know my location for me to see the cameras in other parts of the Commonwealth that I want to see.
Like all other things government, this too is wasteful and not functional the way it should be.
