Information regarding construction projects that impact traffic are included in the CARS-511 system.

Users access the information via a telephone by dialing "5-1-1" or accessing http://511ia.org on the internet.

Project Engineers are responsible for submitting and maintaining traffic conditions for construction projects that they administer. A link to the "CARS User's Guide" is available on DOTNET at: http://dotnet/construct/construct_body_index2.asp.
