The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) District 11 services Allegheny, Lawrence and Beaver Counties. They have a web site that displays all the live traffic cameras in the District. They have cameras perched high above Parkways East, North, and West, and even some tunnels, bridges and Route 51.

It’s helpful for checking out the traffic before your drive home — or, in the case of tomorrow’s Superbowl, making sure you can drive home.

There’s another cool service offered by PennDOT called the Road Weather Information System (RWIS) – these cameras are all around District 11 and monitor weather conditions on the roads. Click here for the RWIS link.
