Trying to find traffic accidents on your morning route through Nashville? There’s now an app for that, just don’t use it while driving.

The Tennessee Department of Transportation has integrated the state’s SmartWay cameras and traffic information network with a smartphone application. The app is now available for download. It locates a driver’s position and pinpoints nearby incidents, road conditions and construction work.

But a TDOT app does not give drivers permission to stare at their smartphone while in route. An agency press release suggests motorists should check the traffic before starting their commute.

Blake Farmer, Host, This Is Nashville

Blake Farmer is the host of “This Is Nashville,” the flagship weekday show of Nashville Public Radio. Previously, Blake spent 16 years at WPLN News, serving as host, editor and news director. Before a two-year radio hiatus with a Nashville-based healthcare company, Blake was one of the country’s most prolific healthcare audio journalists. He produced stories for both local and national programs, extending the reach of his reporting through a partnership with KFF Health News. Outside of work, Blake can be found running or biking on roads that other Nashvillians consider too busy for such activities. So far, he has always made it home to his wife of 20 years and two children.
