Residents can now view traffic cameras for Whoop-Up Drive

Lethbridge motorists looking to access more live-time information on the city’s busiest roadway have a new tool to plan or adjust their route. Four new traffic monitoring cameras have recently been installed to look at Whoop-Up Drive, both westbound and eastbound, as well as at Whoop-Up Drive exit ramps at University Drive and Scenic Drive. The 24/7 cameras, which can be viewed here, take still images in two-minute increments with each photo stored for 20 minutes.
