Poynter Online posting: Google Mapping the Traffic Jams provides details on how a local Raleigh NC site is using Google Maps and web cams to help drivers bypass traffic jams. All you have to do is go to the the News & Observer Site and click on one of the I-40 markers on the Raleigh map, and you will see the traffic web cam for that location. From the web cam you can see how crowded are the road conditions and go an alternative route if there is a traffic jam.
