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.
Near the centre of the city, this camera is at the northwest corner of the D Street-Main Street (Highway 95) intersection. Mounted on the light standard which also holds the traffic lights for westbound D Street traffic, the camera looks across the intersection toward the Cenex gas station on the southeast corner.
The webcam photo below is essentially real time and will be updated approximately every five minutes if you manually refresh the page.
