King County launched the MyCommute Web site in May as a pilot project to provide advance traveler information from six online traffic cameras located on three arterial corridors. King County's traffic cams are among the first in the region to use DSL/ISDN phone lines to carry signals back to the county's Web servers, avoiding the need to lay prohibitively costly fiber-optic cables.
