lohud Traffic Camera map
A running version can be viewed here
This traffic camera map pulls from 511NY's APIs and plots them out on a responsive map. There's a custom php file (not in repo) that pulls from 511NY and writes to the JSON, this php file is run through cron.
Important note: Image files from thruway.ny.gov cannot be embedded - Albany's DOT office has hotlink protection. The php file mentioned above parses through the API's response and downloads the relevant files and caches them locally. This can take a little time, our cron runs every 30 minutes.
