British Columbia has installed 22 new webcams on its highways this year, providing enhanced road and traffic visibility for drivers, particularly during winter months. The cameras are strategically placed based on resident, contractor, and weather expert needs, with some employing innovative technology like solar power and satellite transmission.
Close to two dozen webcams were installed on B.C. highways this year, including along a corridor connecting Langford and Sooke on Vancouver Island.
On the Island, the annual network expansion included Highway 14 at West Shore Parkway, with north, west and east views — a trio of angles adding toResidents of the latter have expressed concern about traffic woes.

Elsewhere in B.C., cams were installed along Highway 1 at 216 Street in Langley and Pine Pass on Highway 97, at the access road to Powder King Mountain Resort region.
