Ever wondered how traffic in the bay area evolves during the course of a day? Here is a video that captures traffic in a part of the bay area on Friday, August 14th. The video starts sometime before the midnight of August 13th, and ends shortly after the midnight of August 14th.

The video above is not the most interesting. But now that I have all the code in place, I’m looking forward to capturing the traffic during some more interesting events, and covering some more area.
I hear Beck’s “Hell Yes” in the background.
Indeed, thanks to Surabhi :)
