MapQuest had added live traffic cameras to their already rich collection of travel information. So far there are 11,000 cameras operating in over 100 areas in the United States and Canada. Many of the cameras are being updated every few minutes.

Users will be able to view the traffic conditions and traffic cameras at the same time via the toggles that appear on maps. Just click the live traffic icon. If you’re a MapQuest user this is a great upgrade and it could save you some time if you check for issues and delays before leaving the house.

It could be fun to see what else these cameras are catching. Maybe I’ll spend some time searching a few of them to see if there’s anything worth seeing.
