Traffic Information Requests

When you are in the Traffic Conditions menu, the system will ask you for a highway, city, bridge, or hot spot.  In the Driving Times menu, you can say a city, bridge, or hot spot. Everything you can request is listed below.    

Highways
A trick to receiving more specific information in the Traffic Conditions menu is to request a highway with an accompanying direction.  For example, say "I-80 East" to obtain information on only eastbound traffic for Interstate 80.  Here are all of the highways for which you can obtain traffic conditions information:

I-238 HWY-101 Almaden Expy
I-280 HWY-1 Capitol Expy
I-380 HWY-116 Central Expy
I-505 HWY-12 Guadalupe Pky
I-580 HWY-121 Lawrence Expy
I-680 HWY-13 Montague Expy
I-780 HWY-17 San Tomas Expy
I-80 HWY-237  
I-880 HWY-24  
I-980 HWY-242  
  HWY-29  
  HWY-37  
  HWY-4  
  HWY-84  
  HWY-85  
  HWY-87  
  HWY-92  

Cities
When saying a city name for traffic information, 511 will provide traffic conditions for all freeways inside the requested city as well as neighboring cities.  Please say any of the following city names:
