A new traffic camera snaps to action for smoother commutes

Another eye in the sky is helping motorists monitor a busy stretch of road in real-time.

A new traffic monitoring camera points directly at the Highway 3 river crossing. It captures westbound and eastbound traffic before, on and after the bridge. The camera takes still images every two minutes, covering the previous 20 minutes of activity.

The new camera follows the installation of four traffic cameras in July of 2024. Those units observe Whoop-Up Drive and the exit ramps at University Drive and Scenic Drive. They also tie into the Whoop-Up Drive Emergency Traffic Protocol.

The cameras’ benefits are two-fold. They allow motorists to check traffic conditions ahead of time, supporting a smooth commute. The City can also use them for immediate traffic monitoring and management purposes. Each camera is set up to prevent any personally identifiable information from appearing in the web feed.

You can view all five traffic cameras here.
