traffic cam

Intersection surveillance device

A traffic cam is a camera mounted to monitor road conditions, typically at intersections or along highways.

Traffic cams feed live footage to transportation departments and news outlets, helping drivers check for congestion or accidents: I checked the traffic cam before leaving for work.

Some are also used for automated enforcement of red lights or speed limits.
