I picked up this list of SNET Cellular special code numbers which
an SNET customer can (supposedly) use to get specific traffic
information. It was on a video-information booth in Norwalk, CT,
operated by (you guessed it) SNET!
Construction Delays and Route Info:
*02 - Route CT-2 (Hartford to Norwhich)
*07 - Route US-7 (Norwalk to Danburry (or New Milford?))
*08 - Route CT-8 (Bridgeport to Torrington (or Mass line?))
*09 - Route CT-9 (Middletown/Cromwell to Old Saybrook)
*15 - Route CT-15(Meritt/Wilbur Cross Parkways, (Berlin T'Pke?))
*84 - Route I-84(NY State Line - Waterburry - Hartford - Mass Line)
*91 - Route I-91(New Haven to Enfield)
*95 - Route I-95(NY State Line - New Haven - RI State Line)
*395- Route I-395(Old CT Turnpike Rt CT-52, New London - Mass Line)
General Info:
*JAM (526) - Up to the minute emergency reports and alternate routing
routing considerations during the hours of 8:30AM to 4:30PM.
*DOT (368) - Dial this number for a recording to report highway problems
(potholes, etc.)
[How do you report to a recording????]
Anyhow, this is sponsored by the nice people at ConnDOT and SNET Cellular.
I don't use SNET Cellular (Metro Mobile instead), so I've never tried
these. Metro Mobile has one code, *22, which you dial to receive a
recording from Shadow Traffic of all major traffic problems in the
area you are in. (Metro Mobile is devided into 3 systems, so
*22 in each one of the systems gives you local traffic for that
general area, or so it seems.)
