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 one 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.
Along I-90 and just south of Veterans Memorial Bridge outside of Coeur d'Alene, this camera is east and above the freeway, set back from the road. It provides two views, one of the road surface and a second of the bridge to the north. The views change every five seconds. Coordinates given are for the north looking view of the bridge. The cameras are mounted on a typical fenced steel tower with accompanying weather monitoring instruments.
