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.
There are two separately mounted cameras at the summit, this one and another to the east of the freeway by Copper Road, mounted on a steel tower with accompanying weather monitoring instruments. It looks at the road surface on the overpass here, while this camera is mounted on the underside of that overpass over the northbound traffic lanes, looking north. Coordinates given are for the north looking view from the overpass camera. The other view isn't very interesting , while this is a chain off area for truckers.
