Via Arlington County.

Employees at Arlington’s Transportation, Engineering & Operations Bureau spend their days parked in front of monitors, scanning the screens as cars idle at stoplights and creep along in traffic. Now this riveting experience can be yours, too.

As part of an open data initiative, Arlington County is making the feeds from 180 traffic cameras publicly accessible. They can be watched, one at a time, on the county website. The feed cuts out after a minute to keep the bandwidth down but can be refreshed.

“This new service is part of the County’s initiative to promote open data and better serve all those who use Arlington streets,” said Dennis Leach, director of Arlington County’s transportation division. “We’re utilizing technology to provide the public with real-time traffic conditions so that they can make informed decisions about their planned trip—anything from a commute to a special event.”

It can be used to monitor traffic conditions, check out the state of the roads after a big snow, or lull yourself to sleep. This is what it looks like.
