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.
Less than a half a mile from being in Montana, this camera tower is on the outside of the last big curve in the road in Idaho (or the first if you're travelling west). The cameras provide three views, west, southeast and down at the roadway. Coordinates given are for the west looking view across the road at the inside of the curve. The cameras are mounted on a typical fenced steel tower with accompanying weather monitoring instruments.
