The Washington State Department of Transportation recently redid their
website, and they now have specific weather as well as traffic information
for certain locations. I was particularly pleased to see this one:
http://traffic.wsdot.wa.gov/i90/bridge/I-90.htm
This gives a view of the I-90 bridge, and depending on which way the
camera's facing, you also get a view of the bike lane. Personally, I
understand windspeed and direction information so much better when it's
graphically displayed. And I like the gust information, too. I can view this
before I ride to work, and make an informed decision if I would really just
rather hang up the bike on Mercer Island, or simply ride across the bridge.
I wonder if WSDOT knew how useful this information would be for cyclists.
