Operational Significance

This camera at Mile Marker 232 tracks the “free-flow” movement of vehicles coming from the West Side and Rio Rancho as they merge toward the North I-25 business corridor. During the morning commute, it is a primary tool for traffic engineers and local news stations to identify if congestion on the flyover is “backing up” onto the main interstate lanes, which can rapidly cause a ripple effect of delays for Northbound travelers.
