About the Columbus cameras

These are the official Ohio Department of Transportation cameras within about 35 km of downtown Columbus. 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 Columbus

Roadze tracks 344 traffic cameras in and around Columbus, Ohio. They belong to the Ohio Department of Transportation and are the same feeds their own traffic operators watch.

Most of them sit on I-270 (46), I-71 (34), I-70 (28), I-670 (26), SR-315 (16) and US-23 (14). 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 Columbus was checked on September 2, 2026. 344 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.
