Storm alerts
A notification on this device when chain control starts, changes or lifts, or a road closes or reopens. Pick your roads:
An alert is a heads-up that something changed, not a road report, and it can arrive a few minutes after the change. Before you drive, check Caltrans QuickMap or Nevada 511 (nvroads.com), or call 511. A few alerts a day at most; no account, no email, and you can turn them off here any time (what we keep).

What this camera shows
This live video stream captures activity at the brake check area, situated at an elevation of 8,206 feet. Because this camera sits between the Diamond Peak camera at 8,139 feet and the West Side Meadows camera at 8,570 feet, it provides a crucial midpoint assessment of conditions on this steep, exposed grade. Watching the video feed allows you to see real-time traffic flow and whether vehicles are actively pulling over to install chains, which offers immediate insight into the severity of the weather that a static image cannot provide.
Since this feed is a live video stream, it is particularly useful for gauging visibility and road surface conditions as they change minute by minute. If the higher camera at West Side Meadows shows heavy accumulation while this view appears relatively clear, you can infer that the storm front is currently centered higher up the mountain. Conversely, if traffic is slowing or stopping at this brake check area, it often indicates that chain requirements are being enforced or that conditions are deteriorating rapidly lower down the slope.
