I am trying to match up the lines and the manhole? in the shot to the lines/manhole on google maps and can't match them up. Can you? I think it's in a completely different place now. I am probably wrong but right now I can't match anything up.
Ok so for some slight proof it was in a different direction you can go to http://www.trafficland.com/city/WAS and click on same cam and in the box it says "Connecticut Ave @ Nebraska Ave Traffic closest to the camera is traveling south". Well now that doesn't make sense right? Could be illegal or something that this has been moved or tampered with.
It is weird. The traffic closest to the camera view is headed north - https://i.sli.mg/o9jjb3.png - however I think to make that statement valid the camera would have to be on the other side of the street, right? Even if it was turned around facing the restaurants, the closest traffic would be heading north as well.
The only way I see that statement making sense if it was originally turned around and recording Connecticut ave. Then the traffic closest to the camera would be headed south.
Yeah it's the only thing that makes sense because I just realized thats where CPP is located, on connectucut ave. I kinda derped with that map not having the business names on there. The red circle here is what the camera is currently looking at - https://i.sli.mg/mYtIIX.png
And if they were recording that street originally, why would they list it as a Connectcuit and Nebraska cam, wouldnt it be Nebraska and Connectcuit? Not sure about that really.
I am 99% convinced the camera has been panned so that the businesses (CPP) are out of view.

Picture of the camera and the camera view for those who don't want to visit the page.

It is literally now facing the opposite direction of what it was mounted to record for. Facing the pole....

Yes thank you! I just replied this same thing. Helps with pics though! It's pointing down a completely different street as what it was.

No problem, plus the google maps shown here is 2 years old so I don't except everything to always match up perfectly.
