The additional LA DOTD cameras are located along Interstates I-10 and I-12, primary hurricane evacuation routes, in the cities of Lafayette, Lake Charles, Denham Springs and Laplace.
The expansion brings the total number of LA DOTD cameras available online to 60 and fills-in coverage gaps between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, and from Baton Rouge to the Texas border.

“LA DOTD representatives told us that our services were invaluable before and during Hurricane Katrina,” said TrafficLand president Lawrence Nelson. “We're extremely pleased to have their continued confidence and be in a position to bring the benefits of real-time traffic video to an even wider audience of state residents and public safety agencies across Louisiana.”
The TrafficLand.com Web site uses interactive maps to show roadways and traffic camera locations. Web site users click on cameras to view live video streams that update once every few seconds. The service also features a continuously updating display of the 10 most viewed cameras in the selected geographic area, which typically shows locations with heavy traffic congestion or accidents.
The TrafficLand.com Web site also provides detailed weather information, localized for the user's zip code area.
