NH Business Owner Sets His Sites on Live
Traffic Cams
How many times have you
left work on a Friday night, started driving down
the road and suddenly find yourself stuck in a
traffic back-up? Well, you are not alone. Your
frustrations are shared by thousands of commuters
here in the Granite State. One of them is NH
business owner Matt Goodwin, owner of Modern
Concepts, a website design company in Pittsfield NH.
He has recently made it his mission to do something
about the lack of accurate traffic information and
has begun installing live traffic cameras around the
state. When asked what his motivation was for
starting the website, Mr. Goodwin stated “Every time
I got into my car and turned on the radio looking
for a traffic report, I either didn’t get it until I
was almost at my destination or I got an old traffic
report from someone who called into a radio
station.” Mr. Goodwin also stated “GPS navigation
systems are great for directions, but when it comes
to traffic conditions, nothing is faster than an
actual live camera shot.” While the website is new
and the camera shots are limited, Goodwin states he
has just recently begun actively searching for NH
businesses and residents who have a computer and a
window facing a potentially busy section of road to
sponsor a webcam. In return, his website will
display free advertising for the business, or a NH
resident can also sponsor a traffic cam at their
home and can donate the advertising space to a
charity or even another business. If you would like
to sponsor a traffic cam, please see
