Salem Traffic Camera Network Update
Since November 2023, the City has experienced significant problems with our fiber-optic network. The problems are the result of increased loading onto the system with aging infrastructure. Our fiber-optic network provides communications with our traffic signal, the traffic camera, and other vital communications in the area. To safeguard our network's integrity and to support the troubleshooting, the decision was made in January to deactivate much of the system, including the traffic cameras from the fiber-optic network.
Recognizing the importance of a reliable fiber-optic communications network, we have secured funding to assist our Traffic Engineering and IT staff in identifying the sources of problems and to make repairs. Our long-range goal is to provide a secure, robust fiber-optic system with the necessary capacity to serve the community well into the future.
