More fish-eye cameras, better signal timing may soon ease traffic

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin’s Department of Transportation is looking to cut down on the amount of time drivers spend at traffic lights. The city believes it can do that with a better bird’s eye view from fish-eye cameras.
City leaders plan to vote at their council meeting Thursday to bring more of the panoramic cameras to intersections. Austin already has 11 of the cameras, mostly along Loop 360. There are also cameras at Riverside and Congress and Westlake and Loop 360.
