Take selfies with public traffic cameras (opens in new tab)

The purpose of this site is to take a picture of yourself using a traffic camera. This requires that you're in front of the traffic camera, which requires that you're physically in traffic, which probably wouldn't have a desktop computer involved.

But, if you want to see it, you can set your user agent to some mobile agent. In Safari, this is done with the menu: Developer -> User Agent -> Safari - iOS xx.x

This is their way around non-convertable interaction. They don't want PCs because PCs won't use the idea properly. They hide it behind the idea of a laptop in traffic which is disingenuous but oh well.

Probably saves them a lot of headache and even costs for the site. I wish they were a bit more honest though.

Plus the page only seems to work on Cell Phones. If on a desktop you get a warning and allowed only to see a map of traffic cameras in NYC.

Yeah it looks like the cameras are all in NYC
