The turnpike has rolled out a new tool drivers can use to make their trip go more smoothly.
A “Historic Holiday Traffic” page is up at 511PA.com that allows drivers to see how traffic speeds during the Memorial Day holiday weekend compare to traffic conditions during a typical, non-holiday week.
You can choose a region and view the information hour-by-hour, helping you see how long it will take to get to your destination and the best time to travel.
The information on 511PA.com is in real-time by using more than 800 traffic cameras. There is also a 511PA app for both iPhone and Android devices. You can call 511 to get the information as well.
