Description
Ottawa Traffic Cams
Ottawa Traffic Cams is a handy little widget that shows you live images from the Ontario Ministry of Transport (MoT) COMPAS Traffic Cameras website for Highway 417. This highway, also known as The Queensway, is the main east-west route through Ottawa, Canada's capital. The MoT has set up eleven cameras along Highway 417 to help you keep an eye on traffic.
Easy Access to Traffic Updates
This cool widget goes through each camera one by one, starting from the east and moving west. So now you can check out the traffic right from your computer without any hassle!
Extra Features: Weather and Gas Prices
The Ottawa Traffic Cams Widget doesn’t just stop at traffic images. It also has options to show you the local weather and even the best gas prices in Ottawa! You can tweak your settings to decide how long each image shows before moving on to the next camera.
Customize Your Viewing Experience
You have control over how often new images appear. They can refresh every 10, 15, 30, 60, 90, or even 120 seconds! Keep in mind that these images are updated by MoT every three to five minutes.
Weather Conditions Right at Your Fingertips
If you're curious about the weather in Ottawa while checking traffic, there’s a neat option that displays temperature right on the image and gives detailed weather info when you hover over it.
Check Local Gas Prices Easily
If gas prices are something you're interested in, you can choose to see them too! The widget will pull in data about local gas prices from OttawaGasPrices.com (prices are shown in cents per liter).
Your Preferences Matter!
Whenever you save your settings for this widget, it will grab the latest data for both weather and gas prices. Just remember that while this info comes from reliable sources like NOAA or Environment Canada at the Ottawa International Airport, some of it may be provided by volunteers. So there’s no guarantee everything is spot-on accurate.
