Welcome to the New York State Winter Travel Advisory System. . The system has activated for the 2019 - 2020 winter season.
The purpose of the system is to provide information about many of New York State's most traveled roads directly from the operators that are performing the snow and ice operations. Our operators will provide reports to this system in areas where they are plowing or treating a highway due to winter weather. This advisory system provides a color coded map of major NYS highways indicating where many of these operations are occurring and the conditions that our operators are observing. The information displays as winter road conditions on the 511NY map.
The New York State Department of Transportation cautions travelers to avoid travel whenever possible when winter weather makes driving difficult -- but in cases where travel is necessary this system can provide you information about potential conditions during your trip.
Please visit the new and improved Winter Road Conditions that are offered through the 511NY service. Use the standard Google Maps controls shown to navigate around the site. The "Select a Region" dropdown box allows the user to choose a New York statewide view or to zoom to any one of the nine 511NY reporting regions for winter travel information. Placing the cursor over a shaded highway segment will cause a popup box to appear showing additional information about that WTA Road Segment.
A gray segment indicates that there is no current weather that would require active reporting on pavement conditions.
If you have any questions about the Winter Travel Advisory or would like to leave a comment about our new look, please contact us.
