Banff has created an online tool to help visitors and residents navigate traffic congestion that's getting worse every year.
The town's traffic dashboard provides live traffic cameras and estimated travel times to various locations in the popular tourist town.
Residents have long complained of gridlock on the roads — especially in the busy summer season and on long weekends.
"Basically New York City in rush hour at Times Square," is how Louis J. Normand sums it up. "You've got wall-to-wall of cars on both ways the whole main street."
