About the Charlotte cameras
These are the official North Carolina Department of Transportation cameras within about 35 km of downtown Charlotte. 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 Charlotte
Roadze tracks 170 traffic cameras in and around Charlotte, North Carolina — 170 of them stream live video, the rest publish a fresh photo every few minutes. They belong to the North Carolina Department of Transportation and are the same feeds their own traffic operators watch.
Most of them sit on I-77 (51), I-485 (48), I-85 (40), US-74 (8), US-29 (6) and Gilead (3). 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.
Every camera in Charlotte was checked today. 170 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.
