New DriveNC.gov site
From the press release, “The N.C. Department of Transportation is preparing to launch an improved version of its traveler information website that long has been a public mainstay for getting critical road updates.
The web address for DriveNC.gov won’t change, but the software platform behind it will be replaced, ushering in new features for the public and other enhancements for the NCDOT employees operating it. The media, like all others, will have to resubscribe for email alerts under the new system. (See the bottom of the release for more information.)
Now, when people go to the DriveNC.gov site, they will see an updated legend with new tools and a fresh-looking map. The new features include the ability to:
- Sign up to receive email alerts of traffic disruptions on any customized route or area;
- View messages currently displayed on overhead digital highway signs;
- Watch live video from 1,100 highway traffic cameras.
And for the first time, users will have the option to download a free app, called “DriveNC,” for their iPhones or Android devices.
When visiting the revamped DriveNC.gov site, people can select “New Features” in the top navigation bar for some helpful tutorials.
The department created the current DriveNC.gov system in the aftermath of Hurricane Floyd, which flooded much of eastern North Carolina in 1999.”
