The camera view at Murray & Cornell

TripCheck has its eyes on us!

Did you know that there are traffic cameras at three intersections in Cedar Mill?

Cameras were installed at Cornell and 143rd, and at Cornell & Murray, as part of the Murray/Cornell Corridor Improvements back in 2009, according to Stacy Shetler, Traffic Engineering Manager for Washington County. The images began posting to the ODOT TripCheck in April of this year.

Washington County installed a new camera at the corner of Cornell & Saltzman just a few months ago. Images started posting to TripCheck in late September.

Aside from being useful for drivers who want to avoid congestion, Shetler says, “The cameras are used by traffic engineers and technicians to remotely monitor and adjust signal timings for routine updates, or in response to traffic incidents, citizen complaints, or alerts from the signal system.”

“During inclement weather like snow, the public can see the condition of the roadways before venturing out. County Operations staff view the cameras to augment assessment of weather events.”

The links are long and unwieldy, but we’ll try to put them on the home page of the News so you can check the local traffic before you get out into it.
