Caltrans installed almost 200 highway cameras around the Bay Area to help authorities to improve safety and traffic management, according to officials.

The program is intended to detect wrong-way drivers and significant traffic incidents, potentially saving the lives of motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists, according to press release on Thursday last week.

The department’s website includes an interactive map showing all their highway CCTV camera locations, where residents can watch the footage from home.

The map can be found at cwwp2.dot.ca.gov/vm/iframemap.
