Possibly the overall look to the homepage, it could use a little more to make it more "pleasing to the eye." But for the most part, I think it is a great site

Cameras on I-205 between I-5 S. and Oregon City. There are often mile long back ups that I don't know about until I'm in the middle of one.
Make it as up-to-date as the OSP/DOT telephone reports.
More cameras. I know that it is probably difficult, but I-205 needs a couple more to the south. Also, places like Sunnyside Rd. Barber Blvd. and Downtown Portland might be good places to add cameras.

Some of the cameras seem to go out and are out for long periods of time - weeks (Lake of the Woods this past winter). You need better maintenance response time on outages.
Place a camera on R138 at the Glide iron bridge to see how heavey traffic is going to Diamond and Crater Lakes. Also get some one to wipe the fingure print off the lense at I5 exit 125 looking south. :-)
More Mountian Cameras in the Mt Hood area. The cameras should include sky view, so can see whether is sunny, cloudy, etc... This is especially important in ski season, when traffic jams occur in evening
Keep up maintaince on cams, add a few more cams on coastal shots,perhaps a few more cams in areas of winter travel that present problems,i.e; snowed in areas of highways that are really bothersome and has past history of such. It is a long way from Por

I have only visited the website a few times now, so I don't feel I can say.
More camera access in Eugene Springfield and other metro's, maybe links to local camera's in those areas.
stabiliz cameras and have the pictures list average speed of vehicle or something to that extent to determine just how slow are they going.
