Sunbelt snowfighting
Winter maintenance isn't just for the "snowbelt." TX DOT has installed nine highway cameras to provide snowfighting managers and the public with images of roadway conditions this winter in smaller cities like Wichita Falls, Amarillo and Lubbock; its earlier traffic cams were in the state's three largest cities: Houston, Dallas and San Antonio. Its Intelligent Transportation System brings "total integration" to the task of fighting winter storms and advising the public about deteriorating roadway driving conditions, according to a story in today's Wichita Falls Times-Record. See for yourself. The images appear on the Internet for the public to use. To look at them, visit TxDOT's Web site - http://www.txdot.gov - and enter "cameras" in the search box.
