Traffic Jam Cam

Michaela Jarvis
LIVE FROM WALNUT CREEK, it’s the Diablo Magazine Cam, a video web camera with a bird’s eye view of the traffic through the Interstate 680/Highway 24 interchange.
Wondering whether rush hour traffic has died down? A quick glance at www.cbs5.com will let you in on the view from the Diablo Magazine Cam, which CBS 5 installed atop our building. This live video takes you right to traffic central for Diabloland, so you can decide whether to get behind the wheel—or pour yourself another cup of coffee.
“The beauty of having live video is [that] you can see for yourself how many cars are on the road,” says Akilah Monifah, director of communications for CBS 5. “It’s like having your own helicopter.”
