Smile, you're on camera....Images from CCTV traffic cameras in North East are now on line

CCTV images are available to help journey planning in the north east

Still images from the region's Traffic Management CCTV cameras are now available in a "video wall" format at www.netrafficcams.co.uk

The images typically update every 1-15 minutes and can be filtered by district. Cameras of interest can be viewed on the "My Camera" tab, or selected from a map and filtered by distance from your current location or postcode. This enables users to view traffic or weather conditions at points of interest which may affect planned journeys, and where necessary make changes to their route or way of travelling.

Further traffic and travel related information can be found at the Tyne and Wear Travel website.

Absolutely fascinating that this information is available - an initiative by the North East Combined Authority
