With winter weather underway and the holiday travel season looming, travelers and commuters will be glad to know that the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) offers real-time traffic reports at its Ohgo website.
The Ohgo website reports road activity, speeds, incidents, travel times, closures, and winter road conditions for all of Ohio’s highways.
The site receives updated traffic speed data from remote sensors approximately every minute. The sensors provide average speeds for each direction of the roadway. They do not report individual speeds and are not used for law enforcement. The speeds are color-coded and represented on the speed display map.
Winter road conditions are entered by ODOT employees at garages and outposts in each of Ohio’s 88 counties. Information is updated approximately every two hours during the snow and ice season, usually November to April.
