Traffic camera

A traffic camera is a video camera which observes vehicular traffic on a road. Typically, these are put along major roads such as highways, freeways, motorways, autoroutes and expressways, as well as arterial roads, and are connected with optical fibers buried alongside or even under the road, with electrical power either provided by mains power in urban areas, or via solar panels or another alternate power source which provides consistent imagery without the threat of a power outage during inclement conditions.A Wisconsin Department of Transportation camera at Interstate 43 and Wisconsin Highway 28 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin; solar powered (link to current image).Traffic camera mounted on a traffic light pole at an intersection on the Sturt Highway in Wagga Wagga.A set of traffic cameras in Dongguan, China.Traffic camera at Arekere junction on Bannerghatta Road.
