NYS Announces More Cameras and Message Boards on Highways

New York adds nearly 300 additional electronic message boards and traffic cameras along the state’s major traffic corridors. With the new equipment in place, there are now 1,150 NYSDOT cameras and more than 550 NYSDOT VMS boards. The additional message signs boost the Department’s reach in announcing and updating snowstorm-related travel bans — particularly for long-haul truck operators — as well as providing timely information to motorists already on the road.
