Update, September 2012—Carmageddon II is upon us Saturday and Sunday, September 29 and 30, 2012. The Getty Center will be closed both days (Getty Villa open). Will it finally be the real carpocalypse, or a repeat of 2011's nonevent? In any case, the webcam below, perched inside the Getty Center's North Building, gives you a bird's-eye-view of the whole lotta nothing' that will be taking place on our stretch of the 405.
For Angelenos, seeing an empty 405 freeway is a rare event.
For those who can't get enough of
Carmageddon or who never thought they'd live to see any portion of the 405
sans vehicles, now you can watch it all weekend—all
53 hours' worth (actually,
more like 35 now)—thanks to the Getty's 405 webcam. Enjoy!
The Getty Center will be closed this weekend; the Villa is open. We'll see you on Tuesday!

so why no link to said web cam?
Nice image, but static. The admin tools need a username and password for installation.
This is a nice use of IRIS.
Thanks William! Anne and Michael, you should be able to see the feed on this post. Please email blog@getty.edu if you’re not able to see the webcam video. We’ll work on this. Thank you!
I can’t see the feed either. I get this and I have Vista and Internet Explorer 9:
Axis ActiveX Camera Control
The AXIS ActiveX Camera Control, which enables you to view live image streams in Microsoft Internet Explorer, could not be registered on your computer.
I can see the feed with no problems! I have Win XP and Firefox, and of course the latest ActiveX plugin installed.
No static image here! Watching Getty stream on my iPad…
