The new version now features updated HKSAR TD data, an enhanced user interface, and a new zoom control. And best of all, HKTraffic 2.0 is free!

Oh, the benefits of living in a small town!

Meanwhile, here in Vancouver's Cedar Cottage neighborhood (part of Mount Pleasant - the irony will soon become apparent), I was in my little shop talking with a client at around 2. We heard *bang - bang - bang - - - bang*. I said "small weapon, maybe a 45." The bassist agreed, and we carried on talking about some needed repairs.

Within 5 minutes my little side street of 17th Avenue, a block from the main drag Kingsway, had become a car-infested zoo in both directions. Apparently redirected.traffic while police investigated. That carried on for over an hour. I hate cars.

Apparently so did the shooter. Two men were arrested. One, it seems, had shot a parked car 4 times. I would have picked a moving one. More challenging, and the parked ones don't bother me nearly so much.

So yeah, Golden. Nice. As in 'silence is... '

It would be nice if they had this for the Los Angeles metropolitan area! :D

It's Compulim from Kasuei, the maker of HKTraffic.

Transport Department in Hong Kong placed cameras all over the city and HKTraffic acts as a browser to interface with their web page. You can check it out at http://traffic.td.gov.hk.

Are there any similar official/unofficial system in Los Angeles? If yes, we can easily implement one for L.A. residents.
