This is a self-described “traffic camera” that I ran across attached to a light pole near the intersection of San Antonio and El Camino Real in Palo Alto/Mountain View/Los Altos (the intersection is at the intersecting borders of all three cities).
The traffic camera is on a light pole to the right of the picture of the intersection of San Antonio and El Camino above. The seeming camera is aimed at the intersection.
