What this camera shows

This live video feed provides a direct look at traffic flow at 4,344 feet, situated well below the chain-control points established at Mogul and the state line. Because this location sits at a lower elevation than the mountain passes to the west, it often remains clear even when snow is accumulating at higher altitudes. Watching the movement here helps determine if traffic is flowing freely or if congestion is backing up before vehicles reach the steeper grades where winter restrictions are more frequently enforced.

Since this camera provides a continuous video stream rather than a static image, it is particularly useful for identifying sudden incidents or slowdowns that might not be apparent on cameras further east at Toulon or Trinity. If the feed appears dark or obscured, it is best to wait a moment for the stream to update before drawing conclusions about current conditions. Checking this view alongside the higher-elevation cameras helps clarify whether a storm is intensifying or if the lower valley remains unaffected.

Chain-control points on I-80

Caltrans does not control the whole road at once — it sets controls at whichever point matches the snow level, so the same storm produces controls at different places on different days. These are the California-side points, highest first:
