What this camera shows

This live video stream captures traffic conditions as vehicles approach the start of the climb toward the Sierra. Positioned at an elevation of 4,821 feet, this camera sits just above the Mogul chain-control point. Because it is located lower than the Gold Ranch area, this view serves as a critical indicator for drivers heading toward the state line. If this feed shows clear pavement while snow begins to accumulate at higher elevations, it often signals that current conditions are localized and changing as you gain altitude.

Because this is a live video feed, it provides immediate visual confirmation of traffic flow that a static image cannot offer. You can observe whether trucks are moving steadily or if a backup has formed near the check area. Watching this stream alongside the feed from the East of W McCarran camera helps you gauge how quickly weather conditions are shifting as you move away from the Reno valley floor and begin the ascent.

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:
