Sounds to me like we need a sticky somewhere that posts the metropolitan area stations with 10 min traffic updates with data supported by call in.
well over half the traffic problems in the DC area are outside camera coverage. once there are 20 or so cars in the backup, someone calls WTOP on 103.5 and reports the delay. WTOP has at least 6 traffic announcers who i think do map study in their off time.
