Few things are as inconvenient as a car accident. In addition to the damage and pain caused to those involved, crashes can impact other drivers in the area.

Where Can I Find Real Time Road Data?

The best way to deal with a car accident is to avoid getting into one. According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, the redesign of Getting Around Illinois can help you do just that. The site is now mobile friendly, meaning drivers in Illinois will be able to access real-time updates about the traffic in Illinois on their phones or mobile devices. As a traveler, this provides you with a valuable resource in preparing for your trip.

How Often is the Road Data Updated?

Accidents happen unexpectedly, at any point during the day or night. Receiving a traffic report every few hours does you very little good. Thus, the data the redesigned site displays are updated continuously. At any point during your trip, you can check for possible delays.

Can I Find Data for My Specific Location or Destination?

The previous version of Getting Around Illinois only allowed you to see traffic information and updates for broad portions of the state. This was not useful for those who desired to see how long their work commute would be. The updated version allows you to search a particular location, as well as specific roadways, making it easy to find the information you desire.

What Other Data is Available?

Delays while driving are not only caused by accidents. This is why Getting Around Illinois provides updates on other possible obstacles on your route. Unexpected construction can add extensive time to your commute; now, you have up-to-date information allowing you to avoid being caught off guard. You can also see hotel locations around your destination, reducing the time you previously had to spend searching for a place to stay. Gas station locations are also available.

With the variety of information now endlessly available at your fingertips, you will be able to plan the most efficient and safe route for your trip.
