Live traffic cameras across San Francisco Bay Area

The Bay Area's freeways and bridges are heavily instrumented by Caltrans, from the Bay Bridge to the South Bay.

Watch I-80 over the Bay Bridge, US-101 and I-280 down the Peninsula, and I-580, I-680, and I-880 in the East Bay.

Every camera on this map comes straight from Caltrans and is tagged with the route and postmile where the agency provides it. Caltrans postmiles restart at each county line, so every label carries the county. Tap a camera dot to open its latest image; tap the image to see it full-size. For cameras beyond the metro, see California traffic cameras or every highway camera.
