About these cameras

Every camera on this page is an official public feed published by the Iowa Department of Transportation. Roadze doesn't own or operate them — it brings all 866 into one map so you don't have to open a different site for every state. Images refresh automatically; cameras marked offline are usually under maintenance or affected by a local outage.

Other states

Every camera in Iowa was checked today. 866 are listed as working. Roadze re-checks every camera daily against its transportation department, so a camera that goes dark disappears from this page instead of sitting here as a broken thumbnail.

Common questions

How many traffic cameras does Iowa have?

Roadze lists 866 public traffic cameras for Iowa: 703 stream live video and 163 are still images that refresh on their own. They all come from the transportation department that runs the road, and they are the same feeds those agencies publish.

Which roads have the most cameras in Iowa?

I-80 (235), I-35 (90) and I-29 (75). I-80 has the most of any road in Iowa, which is why it is usually the fastest place to check before driving.

Are the Iowa traffic cameras free to watch?

Yes. Every Iowa camera is public and free, with no account, no app and no limit on how long you watch. Roadze puts them on one map so you do not have to know which agency runs which road.

When were the Iowa cameras last checked?

On October 27, 2026. Every Iowa camera is asked again on each check, and the ones that stop answering are taken off the list instead of being left as black thumbnails.
