Keeping an eye on the Grand Canal
Sep 16, 2008 About Venice
Check out ARGOS , the new system for keeping watch over the Grand Canal. It’s pretty self-explanatory, and quite fun. Just like any congestion map, colors on maps to indicate the amount of traffic and the speed, and the closed-circuit cameras provide expansive views up and down the length of the Canal…and a lot clearer than the available web cams. The new Ponte della Costituzione is specatacular viewed from above, in fact.
Whether or not we can get them to issue tickets to the boats over the speed limit, that’s another thing entirely…
