The "S" at the end of the title indicates the direction the camera is actually pointing. Access to statewide traffic counts can be found on MDOTs new Traffic. Since the camera view is looking at I-495, that name shows up first, and the nearest cross street to the camera location (in this case River Rd.) shows up second. Access to local traffic counts throughout Kalamazoo County is now available. For example: "I-495 - River S" is a title you typically see on the camera at River Rd. Traffic lights will make the areas at crossings which contain the paths 'solid'. Both road names generally will be in the title, with the road actually in view as the first name. Michigans Department of Transportation provides Mi Drive to alert passengers about traffic conditions. Most cameras are located at the intersection of two roads. The convention used in our titling is very simple. Any time there is a traffic incident within range of our cameras, we may point the camera in that direction. Most cameras will be pointed in one direction in the AM rush hours, and in another direction in the PM rush hours.

Many local TV stations receive video from us and include it in their morning traffic reports. You may recognize these titles from your morning news. These titles change depending on which way we choose to have the camera pointing. Our surveillance cameras have built in titling that show up as characters at the top of the picture. Michigan Department of Transportation road cameras show poor travel conditions, especially in West Michigan along the Lake Michigan shoreline, according to the National Weather Service in Grand.
