Traffic caught on camera

Being stuck in traffic is no fun. Wouldn't it be nice to see where the trouble spots were before you got there?
Well, lucky Florida residents, now you can. TrafficLand has just announced an agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to integrate traffic video from five major markets across the state into its national network of nearly 7,000 traffic cameras.
TrafficLand is to install its IP video equipment at FDOT Operation Centers in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Tampa, and Orlando. Live video from the FDOT cameras will be available to the public on TrafficLand’s free website at www.trafficland.com
The TrafficLand public website uses interactive maps showing traffic camera locations, which users click to view live video streams. Users can save customized camera displays, schedule emails with live images from selected cameras, access cameras by Web-enabled mobile devices and even set up traffic camera Widgets on personalized home pages or blogs.
Take a look. And if the jams are on your way home from work, at least you'll get to see where you'll be spending the next few hours.
