What are the cameras at traffic signals for?
Douglas County uses several different types of cameras at signalized intersections: Intersection Detection Cameras– These cameras use video detection technology to detect when a vehicle is approaching a signalized intersection. These cameras are typically mounted on each approach to a signalized intersection. They are susceptible to false calls when heavy shadows, glare and snow occur. Please report malfunctioning traffic signals to Engineering-Traffic at 303.660.7490 or traffic@douglas.co.us. Video Surveillance Cameras – Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras are used by traffic staff to monitor traffic patterns and check on traffic signal trouble calls received, prior to traveling to the location. These cameras are currently actively watched by staff only during peak travel periods or when trouble calls or accidents occur. The cameras can be viewed on monitors at the Traffic Management Centers.
