# LiveTrafficCam

> Live road, city, and mountain-pass traffic camera directory. Every camera is checked on a rolling schedule; "verified live" timestamps come from real HTTP checks. A camera we cannot verify is labeled offline.

Data sources: official state DOT public feeds (Alaska DOT&PF, ADOT, Caltrans, CDOT, GDOT, HDOT, ITD, INDOT, Iowa DOT, KDOT, MassDOT, MnDOT, MDT, Nebraska DOT, Nevada DOT, SCDOT, SDDOT, UDOT, WSDOT, WisDOT). Attribution on every camera.

URL patterns (all geo pages live under one tree):
- State hub:  /traffic-cameras/{state}/            e.g. /traffic-cameras/california/
- Route:      /traffic-cameras/{state}/{route}/    e.g. /traffic-cameras/california/i-5/
- City:       /traffic-cameras/{state}/{city}/     e.g. /traffic-cameras/california/los-angeles/
- Pass/bridge/tunnel: /traffic-cameras/{state}/{name}/  e.g. /traffic-cameras/california/donner-pass/
- All cities in a state: /traffic-cameras/{state}/cities/ (counties: .../counties/, airports and weather spots: .../locations/)
- Single camera: /cam/{id}-{name}/ (streams, airport cams, and named-location cams have dedicated pages)
