What this camera shows

This camera provides a live video feed of the intersection, allowing viewers to see real-time traffic flow rather than a static snapshot. Because it is positioned at an elevation of 4,586 feet, this location sits lower than both the Mayberry and Skyline cameras. If you see precipitation or accumulation here, it serves as a critical indicator that weather conditions are likely worsening at the higher elevations just a few miles away.

While the higher cameras at 4,598 feet and 5,008 feet may show snow-covered surfaces or active chain controls, this lower vantage point often remains clear or shows only wet pavement. Monitoring this stream alongside the others helps distinguish between a localized rain shower and a more significant storm system moving into the foothills. If traffic appears stalled or moving slowly here, it often suggests that conditions have deteriorated significantly further up the slope.
