The Idaho Transportation Department provides a pair of traffic websites, a
Low Bandwidth Site and a
High Bandwidth Site which, as expected, provides more features and better interactivity. The High Bandwidth website contains six separate pages from which one may learn of
Traffic Speeds,
Weather Stations,
Electronic Signs,
Transit Routes,
Mountain Passes, or
Traffic Cameras. On the latter page one may click on the cameras shown on the map to view current road conditions throughout the state. The majority of the rural web cameras have associated weather stations allowing viewers to ascertain local weather conditions and tendencies. Many cameras transmit several different views, from as few as two to as many as eight. These views, instead of being alloted separate pages, are cycled on a single page, changing views every five seconds to every five minutes.
This is the sixth of eight highway webcams along Highway 95 in the city of Coeur d'Alene. At the northwest corner of the Appleway Avenue/Highway 95 intersection, the camera looks southeast across the intersection toward the Exxon Station. All the DOT highway cameras in the city are mounted on tall steel posts, with no weather instruments. Each provides a single view.
