What this camera shows

This camera looks at W McCarran Blvd on I-80. Chain controls on this stretch are set by NDOT; the Caltrans control points below are on the California side of the line.

This one is a live video stream, so it shows movement — useful for judging how fast traffic is actually moving, not just whether the road is white.

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:
