traffic camera

Road surveillance device

A traffic camera is a camera mounted at intersections or along roadways to monitor vehicle flow, enforce traffic laws, or capture evidence of violations.

Red-light cameras photograph cars running signals; speed cameras catch speeders.

Some simply feed live footage to traffic management centers: I got a ticket from a traffic camera.
