About this Article

New technology will let you access camera images of some pretty hot stuff. No, not that hot stuff. We're talking traffic. Illinois tollway cameras will allow drivers to see gridlock on the four toll roads so they can plan alternate routes. The goal in posting the images is to give drivers another source of information to manage their travel decisions, tollway Executive Director Kristi Lafleur said.
