MoDot has released a smartphone application that reports the road conditions via a map.  It has both an iPhone and Android version available at the respective apps store.

Now drivers can hit a MoDot employee while reviewing the road conditions on their smartphone. Makes sense. So much for the computer.

Shouldn't MoDot get back to working on the highway? This must have been funded by the great American trillion dollar recovery fund.

Missouri Department of Transportation has implemented a new policy. Employees are banned from texting while driving.

This policy extends to personal vehicles if the vehicle is used for official business. The irony is of all the departments. The transportation department shows common sense. So you won’t see an employee driving the street sweeper while texting. That’s a relief and one item off my list of things to worry about.

I just wish I could text my kid while he is on the road. Well there is only five more months until he is 21. I cannot wait.
