New Brunswick highway web cameras are operated by the New Brunswick Department of Transportation and Infrastructure. The cameras are part of the Department’s Road Weather Information System. Most are mounted on tall steel towers, pretty much all of which have weather sensors included on the tower. The sensors measure temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and wind direction and speed. The province has right around 50 web cameras, covering all the major routes in the province.
The webcam pic below is more or less real time and will update every 15 to 30 minutes, depending on conditions.
I don't really known where Saint Martin de Restigouche is - it's supposed to be a bit east of this camera's location. The location is immediately south of a large farm equipment shed, on the east side of Highway 17. Judging by the equipment here, this is either a large farm, or the equipment from a few smaller farms. The camera, BTW, looks south toward the largest nearby town, San Quentin, just 4 kilometres south.
