UDOT Road Conditions

I’ve always been one to pull up the traffic cameras to scope the drive up the canyons or on my way to work. I always hated cycling through one camera at a time, forgetting which one I just clicked and spending way more time than I needed trying to pull them all up. This app makes it really easy to group cameras into collections, so I can instantly see the state of the canyons without having to navigate up each camera one by one. I have no reason to use the Traffic app at this point and this will be the new go to. Being able to add a camera as a widget to the Home Screen is also awesome.

I’m happy to say that this app is very accurate. The cameras are delayed by around five minutes but other than that I have it set to my morning commute for work every day and I’ve been using it now for almost a week and it’s been fantastic to physically see the roads on my commute before I leave my house, and I am happy to support any local app developers in the state.

This app is easy and quick to set up and use. You pick your custom selection of UDOT cameras to see. I created custom pages for each of the Cottonwood canyons. Now I can see the whole canyon in one glance! Very useful for making decisions about when to go up or down the canyon. TIP: keep hitting the “refresh map” button — the cameras don’t populate when you move the map around.
