MNDOT Installs Plow Cams On Their Snowplow Fleet
Northlanders looking for a different perspective on road conditions can now access the view from the crews battling the worst that Mother Nature throws our way. The Minnesota Department of Transportation made the announcement that they have installed plow cams on some of their 838 snowplows - allowing the general public a first-hand look at road conditions.
The reasoning behind the move is a combination of emerging technology and "seeing is believing".
