Driving in New York City

Roadze tracks 1,565 traffic cameras in and around New York City, New York — 371 of them stream live video, the rest publish a fresh photo every few minutes. They belong to the New York Department of Transportation and are the same feeds their own traffic operators watch.

Most of them sit on I-278 (73), I-495 (50), I-678 (40), I-95 (29), Grand Central Parkway (26) and I-87 (23). If you only check one before heading out, make it the road you actually take.

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.
