For all of these I have mentioned, you must have a plan on your phone that includes data, as these will all require mobile data while you are on the road. The California app uses a Google map within the app. So you will need to have a web browser app on your phone in order to view the Nevada and Arizona maps. For an actual map, go to this page: I would recommend turning on all the options, except Mile Markers, as those clutter up the screen too much. Something that big will move very slowly, so you might want to plan your route to use a different highway.įor Arizona, you can download the ADOT Alerts app from a link on this page: The app is not as sophisticated as the California one it basically sends alert messages. It will take up the whole highway in both directions as 6 and 95 are both just 2-lane highways. I don't know what it is, but the alert says it is 85 feet long, 20 feet wide, and weighs 128,850 lbs. For example, this Thursday the 19th there will be an oversize load moving on U.S. Check that there aren't any Oversized Load alerts for the highway you want to travel on. Also, click on the yellow "View road conditions report" for a text-based chart of road alerts. There are many web cams just click on a camera icon. If any roads have chain requirements they are marked as a pink line. But the web page at is basically the same thing, though not quite as sophisticated as California's. You can click on any icon on the map to get the current information, road conditions and requirements and/or web cam view.įor Nevada, they don't have an app like that as far as I know. That app has all kinds of info if you turn all the options on.
