About the Detroit cameras

These are the official Michigan Department of Transportation cameras within about 40 km of downtown Detroit. They are the same feeds the state publishes, gathered here so you can check the whole metro area at once instead of one camera at a time.

Driving in Detroit

Roadze tracks 266 traffic cameras in and around Detroit, Michigan. They belong to the Michigan Department of Transportation and are the same feeds their own traffic operators watch.

Most of them sit on I-75 (54), I-94 (51), I-96 (35), I-275 (28), I-696 (24) and M-10 (20). If you only check one before heading out, make it the road you actually take.

Detroit's freeways run below street level, in open trenches with the cross streets bridged over them. It is what makes them fast, and it is also why a heavy summer storm can put standing water across all lanes of I-94 or the Lodge in under an hour: the water has nowhere to go but the pumps. A camera tells you that faster than any incident feed.

M-10 is the Lodge Freeway and M-39 is the Southfield — nobody local uses the numbers. I-375 is the stub that drops into downtown, and I-75 and I-96 both feed the crossings to Windsor, so a delay at the border shows up on those approaches before it shows up anywhere else.

Winter is what closes roads here: snow, ice and blowing snow from November through March. Plow cameras and pass cameras are the ones worth checking before a trip.

Cameras are public and free to watch — no account, no app. Each one shows what the road looks like right now, which is more useful than a traffic map when you want to know whether it is raining, whether the plows have been through, or whether that backup is an accident or just volume.
