June 14, 1985 - Connecticut Route 66 East - Connecticut Dept. of Transportation Photolog
What you are looking at is a timelapse of images that were captured on June 14, 1985 by a special van driving east on Route 66 through Connecticut. This vehicle was a “Photolog” van, owned and operated by the Connecticut Department of Transportation. In 1985, this van was tricked out with a front-facing camera, and this cool data readout panel with seven segment displays ticking off the mileage and bearing, taking a picture out the front every 0.01 miles (52.8 feet).
Highway departments all around the country had highway photolog programs, some dating back as early as 1961. Every other year this van would drive over 7,000 miles of highway in Connecticut, snapping millions of such photos all along the way.

Out with the old | Connecticut's ongoing highway exit renumbering project
Connecticut is in the process of renumbering state highways' exits. You may have noticed while driving around recently.
The renumbering comes as a part of a federal guideline that stems back to 2009 in which states are required to conform to mile marker numbering instead of the consecutive numbering system Connecticut residents are used to.

What you are looking at is a timelapse of images that were captured on June 14, 1985 by a special van driving east on Route 66 through Connecticut. This vehicle was a “Photolog” van, owned and operated by the Connecticut Department of Transportation. In 1985, this van was tricked out with a front-facing camera, and this cool data readout panel with seven segment displays ticking off the mileage and bearing, taking a picture out the front every 0.01 miles (52.8 feet).
Highway departments all around the country had highway photolog programs, some dating back as early as 1961. Every other year this van would drive over 7,000 miles of highway in Connecticut, snapping millions of such photos all along the way.
Why did these programs exist? States simply needed to know what the hell each bit of road looked like. What was the condition of the traffic signs, exit ramps, roadway paint and what did the surface of the road look like? But they also captured some beautiful scenes, old stores that no longer exist, hilariously low gas prices and some beautiful old cars on the road, and often people just walking by the side of the road.
Over the years, such data collection runs added side and rear cameras, and have been modernized with 3-D scans of the geometry of the road surface, and higher resolution cameras. Today, many states have retired these cool data collection vans, as the work has been outsourced to third parties.
But many states’ highway departments have shelves full of this old footage (a lot of it on 35mm film, and later, laser discs), going back decades.
My name is Jon Keegan and I’m a data journalist and I’m going to be posting my favorite examples I’ve found of visual data sets that our governments (local, state and federal) collect – and ones that I think are kind of beautiful. And I’ll try to explain how and why it was collected.
If you know of any other cool visual information that your government collects, let me know and I’ll try to get a hold of it via public records requests where possible (like I did for this data set).
Thanks for looking! 🚐 📸 🛣
