New traffic cameras on Highway 1 will give North Shore motorists a better read on traffic conditions for the oft-congested freeway before they head out the door.
The cameras, installed along Highway 1 at the Capilano Road, Westview Drive and Lonsdale Avenue exits, and each containing 12 new camera views, are now synced with the DriveBC website to provide motorists real-time traffic and weather updates.
The Lower Mainland is prone to rapid weather changes that can make driving more challenging, stated West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan in a release, adding these new webcams will help motorists better prepare for the road conditions.
Being able to plan ahead for road closures and traffic backlog is important to drivers, added North Vancouver-Seymour MLA Jane Thornthwaite.
The new Highway 1 webcams can be viewed on the DriveBC website: drivebc.ca/#webcams.
