About the Madison cameras
These are the official Wisconsin Department of Transportation cameras within about 30 km of downtown Madison. 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 Madison
Roadze tracks 52 traffic cameras in and around Madison, Wisconsin — 52 of them stream live video, the rest publish a fresh photo every few minutes. They belong to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and are the same feeds their own traffic operators watch.
Most of them sit on US-12 (20), I-39 (15), US-151 (5), E Washington (4), I-94 (4) and US-18 (2). If you only check one before heading out, make it the road you actually take.
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.
Every camera in Madison was checked today. 52 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.
