Live LA gridlock video on your cell phone

If you’re stuck in LA traffic there is a new service that will let you see videos of worse LA traffic.

From fender benders to construction delays, you'll stay ahead of it all with the "NBC Los Angeles Traffic Cam"

No matter where you're going (in the Los Angeles area), you'll have real-time traffic video right in the palm of your hand, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

People with the right phones can download the application, then click and pick from more than 270 cameras aimed at the city's streets and highways to view.

By "right phones," by the way, we don't mean the iPhone. That version is coming this summer, 3rd Dimension spokesman Rob Manfredo said.

Some of the cameras will show still pictures and update them often, while others will show live video, Manfredo said. But all have the potential to inform, inspire and enrage.
