This is one of three cameras on this sign, which is above the right hand westbound traffic lane. This one is looking west.
Somehow, Alberta Transportation has managed to mess up the map for this one. The camera isn't on Highway 93, as shown, but on Highway 1, southeast of the intersection shown.
Alberta Highway Traffic Cams are operated by Alberta Transportation and Parks Canada. The cameras are updated three times per hour.
Alberta has found many ways to spend its oil money, one of which is these highway webcams, almost all of which are also weather stations. Each tower, aside from the webcam(s), is equipped with an anemometer, weather vane, thermometer, barometer and a road temperature sensor. The weather data is telemetered to Alberta Transportation and appears on each webcam's web page.
