More traffic cameras have been added to DriveBC’s website.
The Ministry of Transportation says there are now 496 webcams monitoring highway conditions across the province, including 11 new cameras added this year.
Those 11 cameras feature a combined 27 views, pushing the provincial views total to 1,013.
The ministry says the new webcams will give “drivers a better picture of traffic and weather conditions when planning trips, especially during winter.”
The locations of the new cameras are as follows.
