Weather and Road Conditions Disclaimer

511 Data Disclaimer

The forecasts and reports found on this system are based on information compiled from numerous sources. While every attempt is made to be as accurate as possible, weather predicting is not a totally accurate science. Conditions can and do change rapidly.

Road Conditions reported by an Observer may be several hours old, because the main duty of the NDOR field staff during inclement weather is to maintain the roads. They report their observations when they have time.

During inclement weather it is advisable that travel be delayed until highway maintenance activities have been performed. Always drive at speeds reasonable for the conditions of the highway.

DO NOT rely on any of this information as the sole basis for travel decisions. Before you travel in bad weather, check several resources to gather as much information as possible about the weather and road conditions. You and you alone are responsible for making the final decision to travel during periods of bad weather.

The Nebraska Department of Roads is not responsible for the travel decisions YOU make, or for situations that occur as a result of your travel decisions.

511 by Phone & by Web
What You'll Find and What You Won't

IMPORTANT: Before making travel plans, ALWAYS check multiple sources for information, especially during times when inclement weather might occur.

Web 511 and Phone 511 are provided as a service to assist travelers. They are not intended to be the sole basis of travel decisions. Nor is the accuracy of the information guaranteed.
Comments left on the 511 Phone line will be forwarded to NDOR within 24-48 hours. Comments left via the 511 Web page are forwarded to NDOR staff. If you have an emergency situation or see a highway hazard that you feel needs immediate attention, do NOT leave a phone message or e-mail. Contact appropriate law enforcement/emergency personnel.
What you hear on 511 Phone when you select an area is a forecast for that specific segment of road for the next several hours, and any observed road conditions which are input by our NDOR staff in the field. The 511 Web option shows the observed road conditions only, with a link to Weather info from various sources at the top of the page
Our NDOR field staff input information throughout the day when necessary. HOWEVER, in times of severe weather, staff may be dealing with deteriorating road conditions and not be available to input data for several hours. Please use the weather report function of 511, and/or listen to local radio and TV weather info as you make your travel decisions. Our NDOR staff will input observed conditions as soon as they are able to do so.
Construction info that impedes travel is available by both phone and web. You may also access monthly reports of construction and detour info from the NDOR Road Reports & Travel Info Page.
