Episode Details

New rectangular cameras popped up along Idaho 55 last weekend—briefly, but they sparked curiosity. Installed by the Idaho Transportation Department at 18 key spots between Smiths Ferry and McCall, these traffic count cameras gathered real-time data over the weekend as part of a massive $605,000 corridor study aimed at improving safety and efficiency on this heavily traveled stretch. With over 750 accidents and two fatal crashes reported in Valley County alone in recent years, ITD is prioritizing high-risk areas like Warm Lake Road and Roseberry Road intersections. The study, expected to wrap by early next year, will guide future upgrades—including potential traffic lights—and aims to make Idaho 55 safer for everyone.
