The KanDrive app is the official traffic and traveler information app of the Kansas Department of Transportation. It offers real-time updates on traffic incidents, construction, weather, and road closures for interstates, U.S. routes, and state highways across Kansas. The app features hands-free audio notifications of upcoming traffic events and rest areas, a zoom-enabled map with tappable traffic event icons and camera views, and the ability to manage personalized accounts with saved routes, areas, camera views, and text/email alerts. Users can also view current traffic speeds and road conditions, access traffic cameras throughout the state, and find additional traveler information resources. It is important to note that using GPS in the background may decrease device battery life, and the app should not be used while driving.
The primary focus of the KanDrive app is to provide drivers with up-to-date information to ensure the safe operation of their vehicles. It is recommended that mobile communication devices be used only when the vehicle is at a complete stop, off the traveled portion of the roadway. Texting and driving is against the law, and using the app while driving is also discouraged. The app was developed by Castle Rock Associates, and for any assistance with KanDrive, users can visit the provided resources.
