I'm writing this from the control room, as realtime traffic debuts 15 minutes earlier.  we're now on at 4:30pm, making it easier for you to check out the latest traffic before you leave work.  a busy monday on local freeways, a couple of sigalerts working.  and we have the resources to make your commute as painless as possible.  check it out, you can see the latest caltrans maps, live cameras all over the place, our live drive cams, and drive times.
the drive-time thing is cool-they tell you just how long it will take to drive various local freeways.
    check it out-realtime traffic-click on from the myfoxla front page.

I've seen bits and pieces of the traffic show-pretty slick. too bad I can't get it on my iphone.
one more thing-is that you in the picture with your dog? great photo. do you think you're some kind of rebel for bringing your dog into that place?

hopefully the traffic show will soon be enabled for hand-held devices.
as for the photo, it was taken at the "last dollar saloon" in telluride, colorado. telluride is a very dog-friendly place and the bartender allowed us to bring our dog in. after several tequila shots-the photo became a great idea.

Greg..have seen the show and it's good, well produced. We've got to get this on phones though, how awesome would that be? Especially if we can download an Amy Murphy widget to pop up and gives us GPS directions to avoid jams.

Traffic on the 118 right now is moving well! Nothing to slow you down. Just thought you might like a traffic report :-)

Hi Agentyubi,
glad this site helps you-tell your friends!
as for the anchors-yeah-most do enjoy doing this because it's all done on the fly-there are no scripts or video we cut-it's all ad-libbed live. this show is obviously not as big as "Good Day LA" (yet), but Fox is putting a lot of resources into the web.
thanks for the comments
