A new highway camera has been brought online. The new camera seems to be on the South side of the Saint John River where the highway crosses from Sheffield to Coytown. This is an issue that I intend to pick up in a later posting but the traffic engineer that set up this camera has a bit of a poets eye in terms of the field of view. Some of the cameras have a very bland or even bad framing but this camera will soon be one of my favorites. The frame has the river bank, bridge and river in it. You can see the head of one of the islands in the river and the frame is about 1/3 sky which will make the photos "pop" when we have clear weather. This is a good addition to the family.
The camera must have been up on the MRDC website for awhile but was only linked to the provincial page this morning. I see that there is a 8 minute difference between MRDC time and Provincial time. It also appears to be on a 30 minute not a 20 minute cycle. The MRDC page seems to indicate pending cameras at Salisbury and Longs Creek although the link for Longs Creek perversely shows an image from the Coytown-Sheffield camera.
