Right Now details on traffic congestion, accidents or road work will give viewers up-to-the minute updates on how the flow of traffic is affected.

Highlighted maps with special graphics will depict the average speed of vehicles and provide the time it will take to get from Fox Chapel to downtown Pittsburgh on Route 28.

Color coded animation of individual vehicles instantly shows drivers the pace of traffic on designated highways and, of course, live traffic camera coverage will be provided by PennDOT.
