WHAS11 Launches Mobile Traffic Tracker for Motorists

For motorists in Louisville, this new traffic service is bound to be a great addition to help motorists in avoiding traffic jams and find better routes when they are on the road. A free mobile traffic video service is now available to the Louisville-area commuters, helping them plan the most efficient route to their office, home or leisure destinations.

The 11 Mobile Traffic Tracker, provided by WHAS11 in partnership with 3rd Dimension, Inc., New York City, provides drivers with access to live video streams from 62 strategically located TRIMARC traffic cameras on the region’s three main highway corridors — I-71, I-64 and I-65 — as well as the Watterson Expressway. The service will assist the more than 1.2 million residents of Jefferson County (including Metro Louisville) and the surrounding eight counties.

“Traffic information today helps motorists to make intelligent decisions and keeps our expressway system running at peak efficiency,” said Tim Emington, TRIMARC operations manager. “TRIMARC welcomes the opportunity to cooperate with companies such as 3rd Dimension. This service will be an excellent addition to the ways we share traffic information with the motoring public.”
