What's cool about this is the level of data available. From just traffic data;

To everything (Traffic, Lane closures, CHP incidents, Message Signs [love this one], traffic cameras and chain controls)

The Message Signs are just cool... You can see what's currently being displayed on any of the show signs;

And there's the traffic camera's (ahh... nothing like LA traffic! sigh...)

And if static cam snapshots are not enough for you, there's always the live traffic cam's, Caltrans Live Traffic Cameras
