Need a view of driving conditions before you hit the road? Look no further than the Ohio Department of Transportation's new real-time traffic website, www.ohgo.com.

According to ODOT, ohgo.com gives viewers access to up-to-the minute details on current traffic speeds, incidents, road construction, and weather-related conditions affecting travel from your desktop, tablet or mobile device.

Once on the homepage, click on a city or region of Ohio to access traffic information updated by ODOT crews every three minutes. Users can also click on traffic cameras for a street view of road conditions.

According to the Columbus Dispatch, the project cost $260,000 and will replace ODOT's old website, buckeyetraffic.org.
