DriveBC added 11 cameras with 27 new views to its network in 2023, giving drivers a better picture of traffic and weather conditions when planning trips, especially during winter.

Included is a new view of Highway 3/93 east of Cranbrook, near Ha Ha Creek Road with west and east views. Along with the attached weather station, this camera provides much-needed information about current conditions just west of infamous Steamboat Hill.

Throughout the province, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure crews locate the webcams strategically based on needs that residents, contractors or weather experts identify, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure said in a media release.

Another Highway 3 camera is located at Allison Pass, 10 kilometres west of Manning Park Resort. The recent replacement of this camera has improved the reliability and images of current conditions, including a new view looking west.

As part of network expansion every year, these latest additions bring the total DriveBC webcam network to 496 cameras delivering 1,013 views of current road conditions.

In addition to providing information about weather, road and traffic conditions, DriveBC has links to information about border delays, inland ferries, ongoing construction projects and tips for how to drive safely in winter conditions.
