The visualization presents a live grid of traffic-camera thumbnails for New York City, updating every ten seconds to reflect current conditions. Each image is sourced from the nyctmc.org camera feed and rendered as a static JPEG refresh. The page uses jQuery to dynamically append camera elements from an embedded list and cycles their `src` attributes with a timestamp query to force reloads. The animation is simple and direct, relying on `setInterval` and jQuery’s `.attr()` method rather than a complex charting library.
