A set of 20 images, each image taken 15 seconds apart, is displayed as a repeating time-lapse video. The video represents 5 minutes of real time, compressed into about 10 seconds when played back. Click the video to zoom in & out. About once every 5 minutes, a new repeating time-lapse video is loaded and displayed. Each image of the video has a time stamp showing the military (24 hour) time it was taken. You can see the cars in the day and the headlights and taillights at night. Cars will be close together if traffic is slow. If cars are not moving at all from one frame to the next, traffic is severely backed up. We have a page contrasting high and low traffic images to help you. Sometimes, if there are NO cars visible, it is because traffic is stopped somewhere not visible to the webcam. The quality of the images depend on weather conditions. The webcam is located in Sandy Hook Maryland and overlooks Virginia. JavaScript must be enabled for this page to work. We are archiving the images. If you would like free access to the archive, or if you would like free access to the live stream, email us. We also offer extended length time-lapse videos generated by the webcam. Finally, visit our home page and help make a difference in Pleasant Valley!
