Digital Imagery and Duplication Services (Video Log)

 

Digital Imagery

Every year, half of the State Highway system is filmed, in both directions of travel (increasing and decreasing) using a specially equipped van. This provides a visual record of each highway as well as its immediate environment and allows for a safer and more cost effective way of monitoring and maintaining our highways. The view that the images display is what a "driver" would typically see if they proceeded along the roadway.

Copies of the digital imagery are provided to offices within WSDOT, as well as other customers. In addition, as time and resources permit, the video logging services can be made available to other State and local governmental entities to record such things as bus routes, school zones, accident sites, etc.

Digital Imagery Duplication

The Roadway Data Branch is responsible for the archival, retrieval, and distribution of current and historical digital videos and still imagery of the State Route system and related roadside features which are indexed by state route measure. Copies of the images and video and are often requested by other state and local agencies as well as the general public.

Video Log and Duplication Disclaimer:
SRweb video log mileposting may not always be reflective of the State Highway Log mileposting. Some of the reasons attributed to this could include vehicle drift, divided highways, camera perspective and equipment limitations. These digital views are not created from a driver's perspective and do not reflect how these locations actually appear. WSDOT technology and the PC system setup of the user will affect these views. The images provided are for information purposes only. Unauthorized attempts to alter or modify these views are prohibited by law.
