Motorists traveling Nevada highways during the Thanksgiving holiday may receive instant, free information on road conditions with the Nevada Department of Transportation’s 511 Nevada Travel Info System.

The system posts current Nevada road, construction, weather and accident reports to an easy-to-remember 511 phone number and www.nevadadot.com website. Before traveling, motorists simply dial 511 toll-free, 24 hours a day from within the state. Designated by major section of state road, callers then select their state route number for automated road conditions, weather forecasts, scheduled event road closures and construction updates. Out-of-state callers can dial 1-877-NV-ROADS to receive the same information.

The road listings are also available under “511 Travel Info” at NDOT’s www.nevadadot.com website. On the site, a Nevada road map zooms into the user’s desired state travel route, with different icons detailing construction, accidents and weather closures. Similar information is also available in easy-to-read text format. Online and by phone, users must select their chosen road by state route number.

Thanksgiving holiday travelers can also find winter driving safety tips on the department’s website at www.nevadadot.com/winter.
