Traffic: A cool ride for this commuter; check yours now

It's not often this writer leaves the house with the stars on one side of the sky, and a pinkish glow in the other.

But she did it today, and the early ride into Providence from South County was both smooth and pretty. Despite the fact the car thermometer read 32 degrees.

Heading out now yourself? Check out the state roadways, via the Department of Transportation's online traffic offerings.

You can find any traffic alerts describing accidents here. Or browse traffic cams to see real-time photos of the highways. Check out congestion mapping -- i.e., how heavy the traffic is -- here.

Need updates in the car? Call the DOT's phone line, at 511 in state and out of state, 1-888-401-4511.

To report a traffic incident, call the Transportation Management Center at: (401) 222-5826 and choose option #2.
