Route Outlook refreshes each camera image once a minute. The camera's provider uploads new photos on its own schedule, and the label on each enlarged image shows how long ago it was updated.
What do the green, amber and red highway colors mean?
Green means no incidents, only minor ones, or only work zones. Amber means a crash or other incident slowing traffic, or work closing a travel lane right now (planned roadwork outside its scheduled hours does not count). A ramp or shoulder closure, minor work, and months-long project notices are listed as work zones but leave the highway green. Red means a severe or critical incident, such as a crash blocking lanes, or a road closed in one direction (labeled Closed). Colors update every two minutes from transportation department incident feeds. Grey means no status: the data did not load, or the incident feed has not reported for over an hour, so no highway is shown green without data.
