Although not currently available on the Arizona Department of Transportation’s website, there are nine cameras that now monitor traffic along the critical route into the City of Maricopa.
These cameras are only monitored internally by the ADOT Traffic Operations Center so that they can monitor traffic flow and adjust traffic signal timing if necessary.
It also allows them to monitor traffic accidents at critical locations such as the accident a Riggs on July 15, 2017.
This is a video of a accident all ready in progress when I had started the recorder. Before I had started recording the white F-150 had already hit multiple vehicles and a motorcycle on Riggs Road before taking off into the desert. – John Brutovsky
